Horatio Nelson Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
Horatio Nelson NPG 5798
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by Sir William Beechey
In recognition of his Norfolk origins, this portrait was commissioned by the City of Norwich. It depicts Nelson with an air of quiet self-confidence and is considered the most faithful likeness of him. Nelson's last engagement was his greatest victory. Beechey's sketch captures the proud resolve of the Admiral who, refusing to cover his glittering medals, was killed by a sniper while destroying the combined French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
