EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 was a significant moment in naval history, and this print captures the intensity of that historic event. The artwork, created by Robert Pollard and JG Wells, showcases the British Fleet approaching the Danish-Norwegian fleet amidst a tumultuous sea. Admiral Lord Nelson's victory at Copenhagen is legendary, as he defied orders from his superior to withdraw from battle. According to popular belief, Nelson famously put his telescope to his blind eye and claimed ignorance of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker's signal. This act of defiance ultimately led to a triumphant outcome for the British forces. The print itself exudes an aged charm with its old ship prints aesthetic. It transports us back to the early 19th century when sailing ships dominated maritime warfare. The aquatint technique used adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the bravery and strategic prowess displayed by Admiral Lord Nelson during this decisive battle. The distant horizon hints at both danger and opportunity as two powerful fleets prepare for combat on those turbulent waters. This print serves as a testament not only to historical events but also to the artistic talent of Nicholas Pocock who originally captured this scene. It allows us to immerse ourselves in a pivotal moment in naval history while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind it.
