The Hero of the Nile's Victory Over the French in 1798.
Copper engraving, signed Gregory. 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.
Sheet size: 8" x 10"
Generally good condition for age. Time spotting and foxing throughout.
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.
