Description: | Earthenware jug, transfer-printed in black with a circular portrait of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) with ships behind him and naval trophies below. Above the portrait is inscribed 'ADMIRAL NELSON', around it 'ENGLAND EXPECTS THAT EVERY MAN WILL DO HIS DUTY' and below the trophies 'VICTORY'. On the other side, a woman wearing a yellow-coloured classical dress, in a landscape with two children, one of whom is playing with a lamb. 'Behold the Widow casting herself and Orphans on benevolent Britons'. Below the lip, the verse 'A hero great he was/His County's praise & pride/Most gloriously he fought/And for his Country died.' The transfers are enamelled in blue, red and yellow and the jug has black hand-painted borders and a moulded handle. | 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 |
