EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures a remarkable moment in history as Admiral Horatio Nelson encounters a bear. The image, part of the Private Collection, is believed to have been created by an English School artist in the 19th century. The scene depicted here is from Robert Southey's book "The Life of Nelson" specifically from a new edition published by Bell and Daldy in 1866. It showcases Nelson's encounter with this majestic creature, offering a unique glimpse into his adventurous life beyond his naval exploits. The vivid colours used in this print bring the bear to life, highlighting its strength and wild beauty. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel the tension between man and beast. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Lord Nelson were not immune to facing unexpected challenges during their journeys. This historical piece not only celebrates wildlife but also offers us insight into one of Britain's most revered figures. Lord Nelson's bravery and determination are well-documented throughout history, making this encounter with nature all the more intriguing. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate both the artistry behind it and the fascinating story it tells.
