W. Britain, Matte Finish #41117 Nelson with Emma Set
Their love affair became the talk of society and did him much harm.
Devoted, they spent happy times at Nelson's house in Surrey, enjoying
entertaining in lavish style.
Seen here following a reception, with Lady Hamilton in a typical evening
gown of the period and Nelson wearing his Vice Admirals Full Dress and
decorations.
On 21st October 1805 a British Fleet under the command of Admiral
Lord Horatio Nelson not only destroyed the combined fleets of France and
Spain, but with it Napoleon's dreams of invading Britain.
The Battle of Trafalgar was the most important naval engagement of the
Napoleonic Wars, however the great victory was nearly overshadowed by
national mourning at the loss of Lord Nelson, killed at the height of
the battle on board his flagship HMS Victory.
To commemorate the bi-centenary of the battle approaching in 2005, W.
Britain has created this special Trafalgar range capturing in stunning
detail Nelson and his key officers Vice-Admiral Villeneuve and the men
of the Combined Fleet who faced him. They have also included this
unique set paying homage to his true love, Lady Emma Hamilton.
