Stevengraph picture - st124 - The Death of Nelson

by Austin Sprake:
A rather confused scene on the deck of The Victory at Trafalgar.

by Geoffrey Godden:
A landscape shaped view of the death of Admiral Lord Nelson on the deck of the flagship Victory in 1805. This picture is very crowded with figures and is larger than the normal Stevengraph, with a card size of approximately 9 3/4 inches (24.8 cm) by 6 3/4 inches (17.1 cm) and a picture, or sight size, of approximately 6 9/10 inches (17.5 cm) by 2 3/10 inches (5.8 cm). In size and crowded historical composition, this subject forms a convenient pair with WELLINGTON AND BLUCHER [st604 on this site].
THE DEATH OF NELSON was first listed on label 23+31 of c. 1889. It is normally found on card-mounts C1 and C3 and, later, on card-mounts of type E [the image above is of type C1 of circa 1893 - 1895].
