EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Remember Nelson, c1812" by artist Thomas Whitcombe takes us back to a significant moment in naval history. The image depicts the Battle of Lissa, which occurred on 13 March 1811 off the coast of Croatia. In this fierce encounter, a British squadron led by Captain William Hoste faced off against a formidable French and Venetian fleet. The print captures the essence of this historic battle, showcasing the sheer determination and bravery displayed by Captain Hoste's crew. As their ships maneuver through the rough waters of the Adriatic Sea, they rally under the signal "Remember Nelson" paying tribute to Admiral Horatio Nelson who had tragically lost his life at Trafalgar just six years earlier. Through superior seamanship and gunnery skills, Hoste's crews managed to outmaneuver and defeat their larger enemy fleet. This victory stands as a testament to British naval prowess during this era. Thomas Whitcombe skillfully brings this scene to life with his detailed depiction of sailing ships engaged in combat. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of drama and intensity to the composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most decisive naval battles. It serves as a reminder not only of Britain's maritime heritage but also honors those who fought valiantly for their country amidst turbulent times.
