NELSON HORATIO: (1758-1805) British Admiral during the Napoleonic Wars, the victor of the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805. A very fine, rare D.S., Nelson & Bronte, one page, folio, given on board HMS Victory, 10th June 1804. The attractively penned manuscript document is addressed to Sir Richard Bickerton, Rear Admiral of the White, on board the Royal Sovereign, and is headed Order of Battle and of Sailing. The document outlines Nelson’s plans for the formation of ships for the Blockade of Toulon, listing eleven vessels including the Victory, Superb, Renown, Triumph and Bickerton’s own Royal Sovereign, along with the names of the Captains of each ship including Nelson himself. The list of ships are split into three sections, Van Squadron, Centre Squadron and Rear Squadron. Boldly signed by Nelson at the foot. With blank integral leaf. A later, small red ink stamp appears in the upper right corner. The text is illegible although is presumably that of a collector. Some slight discoloration to the extreme edges of the document, caused by previous framing, not affecting the text or signature. VG
