Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Horatio Nelson NPG 73

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Friedrich Heinrich Füger

This is the only known image of Nelson in civilian dress. Both he and his mistress Emma Hamilton sat to Füger shortly after their arrival in Vienna from Naples in 1800, after the victorious Battle of the Nile (1798). By that time, Nelson's fame was quite phenomenal and the couple were followed by thousands wherever they went. Each city they visited held grand celebrations. Prague was illuminated for his forty-second birthday and a special black cape with colourful trimmings invented and named after him.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
