Description
A correct representation of the funeral barge which conveyed the body of the late Lord Nelson from Greenwhich to Whitehall, Jan. 8th. 1806. London, [publisher and date not visible]. Framed, large size.
Note: Le Quesne 26. Similar in all important aspects, including the caption, to the previous lot. Professor Le Quesne concludes that it too will have been issued by Hinton. Copies of the same print have been used for both, which differ only, but markedly in the background. It appears that the unskilled artist employed to colour the back of the picture substituted a simpler background, omitting the detail shown in the present picture. Not in the National Maritime Museum, Royal Naval Museum or the Nelson Museum at Monmouth.
