EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fan, titled 'The New Trafalgar Fan,' is a captivating historical artifact commemorating Vice Admiral Lord Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The fan, which is a contemporary souvenir of this momentous event, is dedicated to Lady Collingwood, the wife of Rear Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, who served under Nelson as his second-in-command during the battle. Measuring 10 inches by 21 inches, the fan is an intricately designed piece, featuring a vibrant image of the HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship during the battle, proudly flying the Union Jack. The ship is depicted amidst a tumultuous sea, with the British fleet in the background, symbolizing the triumphant victory against the combined French and Spanish fleets. The fan's intricate design is further accentuated by its delicate hand-painted details, including the intricate patterns on the fan's handle and the elaborate border surrounding the image. The fan's importance lies not only in its historical significance but also in its rarity, as it is an original import from the late 19th century, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection. The New Trafalgar Fan is a testament to the enduring legacy of Nelson's victory and the impact it had on the British people. Its dedication to Lady Collingwood underscores the role of women in celebrating and commemorating military victories during this period. This fan is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in history.
