EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a historic moment as Lord Horatio Nelson toasts the survivors of the storming of Toulon in 1837. In this scene, Lord Nelson stands proudly on a barrel, dressed in his full uniform, raising a glass to celebrate their victory. The sailors surrounding him wear plundered men's and women's clothes, adding an element of humor and camaraderie to the image. The handcolored lithograph by George Cruikshank is part of the Greenwich Hospital series, depicting naval sketches by "An Old Sailor" (Matthew H. Barker). Published in London in 1826 by James Robins, it showcases Cruikshank's talent for satirical drawing and storytelling. The artwork not only pays homage to Lord Nelson but also offers insight into the Napoleonic Wars that ravaged Europe during this time. It portrays a battle scene with soldiers from Great Britain and France engaged in combat while highlighting the looting that often occurred during wartime. Overall, this print beautifully captures both the celebratory spirit and harsh realities of war. It serves as a reminder of Lord Nelson's bravery and leadership while providing viewers with a glimpse into life during one of history's most tumultuous periods.
