View of Lord Nelson's Attack on the Combined Fleet off Trafalgar Oct 21 1805

Copper engraving. A plate from Frederick Lloyd's An Accurate and Impartial Life of the Late Lord Viscount Nelson. Printed and published by J. Fowler, Ormskirk, 1806.

Size of paper: 8 1/8" x 10 3/4"

Generally good condition for its age. Time spotting thoroughout, two vertical folds as issued.

A contemporaneous plan of the Battle of Trafalgar, charmingly engraved with an apparent delight taken in the shipping.

An exceedingly scarce print engraved in a pleasingly naive manner, originally issued for a life of Nelson aimed at the popular market. The ephemeral nature of the original publication has meant that few of these engravings have survived.
