An early to mid-19th century shoulder-length portrait study of the Rev. James Beaver; original paper label verso with a short biography of the subject handwritten in ink, gilt-framed and glazed (image size 11.5cm x 9cm, frame size 21.5cm x 18.5cm)Provenance: by descent through the male line of the family. James Beaver (1760-1840) matriculated at Corpus Christi, Oxford, at the unusually young age of twelve, and became a Fellow aged 26. He served as an army chaplain during the War of the Second Coalition in 1799 and as a naval chaplain on board the Monarch during the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. His obituary records 'he behaved with so much courage and presence of mind as to attract the notice of all on board. The officer who had charge of an important gun having fallen early, Mr Beaver took his place, and fought his gun with so great skill and bravery to the end of the action, that he was honoured with the especial notice of of Lord Nelson, and on his return to England had a gold medal presented to him, in commemoration of his heroic conduct.' (Beaver's younger brother, Captain Philip Beaver RN, of Bulama fame, was also awarded a gold (Sultan's) medal for his part in the Mediterranean in the same year.) James Beaver, who was a 'furious enemy of Buonaparte and a thoroughly orthodox hater of the French', was obliged to take up residence in France as Chaplain of Dieppe, where he died, but not before writing a 48-line poem on the awfulness of Paris.
