Princess Royal, 1797. Now, Rear-Adml. Sir Thomas Baker. K K.C.B. & C. K K.C.B. & C. 1835". Note: Capt Thomas Baker, a Nelson contemporary, was engaged in several actions. Two were most important. On 25th July, with a squadron in company, he opened fire on the Danish frigate "Freyer" when the Danes refused to allow their ships to be searched. This was the cause of the rupture of the Northern Federation and the preliminary to the battle of Copenhagen. The second important action was when Baker, in the frigate "Phoenix" came across Domanoir's four 74-gun ships, which had escaped Trafalgar. Baker drew their shot and led them to Sir Richard Strachan's ships, who gave battle and overcame them. R.C.F.

19th century gold and enamelled framed portrait miniature of Viscount Lord Nelson, after Hoppner, the front bezel in dark blue and white enamel with eight garnet mounts, the back with central hair panel surrounded by dark blue enamelling and a gold outer, inscribed "A token of regard to Sir Hyde Parker from HN". Note: Sir Hyde Parker (1739-1807) was a contemporary of Lord Nelson, born in Devon, the second son of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, 5th Baronet (1714-1782), in 1801 he was appointed to command the Baltic Fleet destined to break up the Northern Armed Neutrality, with Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson as his second in command. The first objective of the expedition, fell in the battle of Copenhagen on the 2nd April 1801, to the fierce attack of Nelson's squadron - Parker, with the heavier ships taking little part due to the shallowness of the channel. At the height of the battle Parker, who was loth to infringe the customary rules of Naval warfare, raised the flag to disengage. Famously, Nelson ignored the order from his commander by raising his telescope to his blind eye and exclaiming "I really do not see the signal". This may or may not be purely a myth. Nelson pressed on with the action and ultimately compelled the Danish forces to capitulate. Parker's hesitation to advance at the Baltic Sea after his victory was later severely criticised. Soon afterwards he was recalled and Nelson succeeded him. Overall size of frame 10cm x 8cm within a later folding leather case Provenance: Vost's, Newmarket 21 November 1997 Lot 216 £400-600
