Attributed to Thomas Buttersworth, Sen. (1768-1827) The battle of the Nile, 1 s t August, 1798; and The battle of Trafalgar, 21 s t October, 1805 the first inscribed 'Nile' (on the reverse); the second inscribed 'Trafalgar' (on the reverse) oil on panel 6 x 8 in. (15.3 x 20.4 cm.) a pair (2) "The battle of the Nile was fought in Aboukir Bay, about 15 miles west of Alexandria, on 1 s t August 1798, Nelson having spent most of the summer cruising the western Mediterranean looking for Admiral Brueys' Toulon fleet, finally came upon it as it lay at anchor in Aboukir Bay following the disembarkation of the army with which Napoleon was to conquer Egypt. Brueys had chosen a strong position in a well-protected anchorage although Nelson had the advantage of surprise. More significantly, it was already six o'clock in the evening when Nelson sighted the French and, with only two hours of daylight remaining, Brueys was confident that any attack would have to be postponed until the next day, by which time his own fleet would be ready. Nelson, with typical daring, amazed both his own captains as well as the French by ordering his ships into the Bay where they engaged the enemy in a spirited action which lasted most of the night.
