EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "They have done for me at last, Hardy, said Nelson, 1805" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by As Forrest in 1905, it depicts the final moments of Admiral Horatio Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar. The artist's portrayal is based on an illustration from the book "Our Island Story" by H E Marshall. Nelson, a heroic figure in British naval history, lies wounded on the deck of his ship as he utters his famous last words to Captain Thomas Hardy. The scene is filled with drama and emotion as we witness the ultimate sacrifice made by this courageous man for his country. The image showcases elements that symbolize both power and vulnerability: a weapon beside him representing warfare, a sword signifying leadership and bravery, and water transport highlighting the importance of naval strength. The vibrant colors add intensity to this poignant moment. It is important to note that "Our Island Story" had a biased perspective favoring Britain's view of history. Nevertheless, this artwork remains an impactful representation of one man's dedication and devotion to his nation. As we observe this historical photograph print today, it serves as a reminder of Nelson's legacy and the sacrifices made by countless sailors who fought bravely under the British flag during times of conflict in the 19th century.
