EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Conflict with a Spanish launch" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The print, created by Richard Westall and part of a private collection, showcases the intense clash between two naval forces during the era of Admiral Nelson. The image depicts an exhilarating scene where a Spanish launch engages in combat with another vessel. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures the tension and chaos that ensued during this conflict. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the bravery and determination displayed by those involved. This particular engraving was originally featured as an illustration for Robert Southey's book, "The Life of Nelson".
