* Nelson Memorial. A highly unusual and large manuscript broadside commemorating Nelson`s victories, c. 1810, laid out in five ruled columns with pen and ink plans of the Battles of the Nile and Copenhagen depicting the ships with flags highlighted in red and blue, inset within the blank area of the upper plan a stipple-engraved medallion portrait of Lord Nelson by D. Orme, in the right column a watercolour of a tree with a lion and anchor on the ground at its base, the tree giving details and death dates of Nelson and his admirals, the remaining areas of the manuscript being largely in a copper-plate italic hand with additional text fillers and insertions in one or more hands, being largely copies of letters, newspaper articles, lists and extracts, etc., paper laid on linen, tacked on to a wooden baton with wire hanger, all somewhat browned, some surface abrasions with loss of text and minor marginal creasings and tears, overall approx. 131 x 76cm. No identification as to the authors is given on the document. The two line heading begins `A Plan of the ever memorable Engagement of Cape Beguin, or Abouker at the [...]`. The various extracts and quotations include letters from Nelson onboard the Vanguard, 1798; copy of a letter from Lord Nelson to Lord Keith, 1801; copy of a letter from Caption Dixon to Sir Thomas, 1800; details of English and French ships in battle; Ode on Lord Nelson by Miss Laurence, London, 27 October 1798; extract from the Hereford Journal October 4th 1798; Notes annexed to the above by the Editor of the Hereford and other papers; various accounts of the action off Copenhagen, quotations from Mulgrave`s diary, 1793; letters from Collingwood extracted from London Gazette Extraordinary, 1805; and a continuation thereof. In some of the quotations gaps have been left by the author of the neatest writing and the missing proper nouns have for the most part been inserted by one or more hands. This would possibly indicate it was a school project and most likely done in the years immediately following Lord Nelson`s death in 1805. The extract from the Hereford Journal may give a clue as to local provenance. Nelson was a visitor to Hereford and given the freedom of the city in 1802. A monument to Nelson was erected in the middle of Castle Green in 1809. The design by Hardwicke was modified and directed by local architect Thomas Wood. This poster may therefore have been made in connection with these celebrations. (1)
