1805 Expects Napoleonic Nelson Sends Signal Trafalgar Wars
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
October 1805: The Calm Before the Storm - Admiral Horatio Nelson and His Famous Signal at the Battle of Trafalgar Amidst the tranquil waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the British fleet, under the command of Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, prepared for the climactic encounter that would come to be known as the Battle of Trafalgar. The year was 1805, and the Napoleonic Wars raged on, pitting the formidable forces of the French and Spanish Empires against the might of the British Royal Navy. In this evocative image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness a pivotal moment before the battle, as Nelson sends his now-famous signal to his fleet: 'England expects every man to do his duty.' The sun casts a golden glow upon the scene, the calm before the storm, as the British ships, anchored in a tight formation, await the approaching enemy. Nelson, a hero of the British Empire and a man of unwavering determination, stands confidently on the quarterdeck of his flagship, HMS Victory. With one hand, he points towards the signal mast, delivering the order that would soon galvanize his men into action. The significance of this moment, as the British fleet prepared to face the combined might of the French and Spanish forces, would go down in history as a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars. The Battle of Trafalgar, which ensued on October 21, 1805, would prove to be a decisive victory for the British, resulting in the capture or destruction of the combined French and Spanish fleets. Nelson's signal, 'England expects every man to do his duty,' would become a rallying cry for the British forces and a testament to the indomitable spirit that defined the era. This image, capturing the calm before the storm, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination that shaped the course of history during the Napoleonic Wars.
