EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Horatio Nelson loses his arm during the attack on Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The colour litho artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist of the 20th century, showcases the intensity and chaos of battle. In this scene, we witness Nelson's heroism and sacrifice as he bravely leads his fleet into action against the Anglo-Spanish forces. Thick smoke billows from burning ships while cheers erupt from both sides, illustrating the fierce determination of all involved. Nelson stands proudly on deck, adorned in his distinguished uniform as a rear admiral. Despite sustaining a severe injury to his arm, he remains resolute and undeterred in leading his crew through this tumultuous sea battle. The image beautifully portrays not only the physical toll of war but also highlights the camaraderie between officers and their crews. As Nelson embraces one of his wounded comrades on deck, it is evident that these men share an unbreakable bond forged through adversity. This historical moment serves as a testament to Nelson's unwavering courage and leadership during the French Revolutionary War and Napoleonic Wars. It also reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history for their countries' sake. Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand an anecdote that has shaped our understanding of naval warfare forever.
