This monumental tribute in respect to the memory of Ad. Ld. Nelson, who in the moment of victory glorious fell fighting ...Hand coloured etching, London: I. Hinton, March 1, 1806. Framed, small size Note: Similar to Le Quesne 43, this is a rare example of one of the prints used as the basis for the glass pictures. Such prints are all togther different from the high quality mezzotints used as the basis for glass pictures in the previous century. The prints are largely etchings strengthened in places by some dirct engraving of the plates, together with some light use of the mezzotint rocker. Surving prints are rarer than the glass pictures themselves and Professor Le Quesne records only ever having seen two. (Le Quesne pp. 94-95).
