Catalogue Note: - The Battle of Navarino took place on 20 Oct 1827 between the allied forces of France, Russia and Britain, under the command of Admiral Edward Codrington, a hero of Trafalgar and those of the Ottoman Empire. The allied victory was pivotal in saving the Greek republic from collapse and leading to Greek independence. Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence was appointed The Lord High Admiral in 1827 and the Battle of Navarino was the 1st naval battle of his tenure. Sir John Theophilus Lee was asked to make a drawing, with the view to publishing of the battle, on Prince William Henry’s express desire, and from his lordship’s ideas and plans communicated through Lord Viscount Ingestrie. This was done and due to the high costs of publishing a subscription was raised to meet its production. Eighty admirals, a proportionate number of Captains and other officers of the navy and army and various personages of society subscribed. Prince William Henry agreed to a dedication to his name on the prints. A quantity of oak from the Victory, Nelson flagship from the Battle of Trafalgar, was sent to Sir Lee on the Kings command so that some of the aquatints could be framed. One pair of the prints was gifted to his majesty George IV, another to Prince William presented personally by Sir Lee and hung over the mantle piece of his Royal Highness’ private room in the Admiralty. Further sets framed in the Victory’s oak was presented by Sir Lee, through their respective ambassadors to the Emperor of Russia, the King of France, the King of Prussia and the King of Sweden, all of whom Sir Lee personally knew. Sir John Theophilus Lee was born into a naval family on 28 August 1787 and first went to sea at the age of 7 ½ years. He was the youngest Midshipman at the Battle of Cape St Vincent (1797) sailing on HMS Barfleur with his father, then a lieutenant and a year later on HMS Swiftsure, he was present at the Battle of the Nile in the fleet commanded by Lord Nelson. He later resigned from the Royal Navy to take a civilian post in the personnel department of the Admiralty, then as a civil servant heading governmental departments within the admiralty. He was knighted in 1827. During his life he also became known as an artist drawing and painting naval scenes.
