Description: | Porcelain plate, a later copy of examples of Nelson's oak leaf service. It is painted in full colour and gilt. In the centre, the coat of arms of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) within the motto 'TRIA JUNCTA IN UNO' (three joined in one), with supporters, below an incorrect version of his personal motto on a ribbon 'PALMAM QUI MERUIT'. Above, the chelengk and 'SAN JOSEF' crests, the latter incorrectly inscribed with his motto 'FAITH WORD' and also a Duke's and Viscount's coronet. The border is painted with very unrealistic oak leaves and acorns with blue swags top and bottom inscribed 'Nelson', 'San Josef' and 'Nelson', '22 April' (the date of the battle of Copenhagen 2 April). | Publisher: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/page/7d7ded6fb50d6031e2884961a200be58.html | Subjects: | Horatio Nelson | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
