Description: | Inscribed in ink by Pocock, 'before the Battle, taken from the NNE or Van of the Combined Fleets', this drawing looks southward down the long arc of the approaching Franco-Spanish battle line. It shows Nelson and Collingwood's two attacking lines intercepting the Franco-Spanish Combined Fleets from the seaward side (west). Nelson's weather division is closer, headed by 'Victory', with a repeating frigate that is probably the 'Euryalus', nearer the viewer, on the far right. Above the drawing is a schematic plan of the scene in which the ships are indicated as short pencil dashes. Exhibited: NMM Pocock exhib. (1975) no. 91.
