His Finest Hour 1

Pacing along the deck onboard HMS Victory, Admiral Lord Nelson reflects to his Captain and right-hand man Hardy his hopes for the situation…

The first of two caricaturised sketches made during the run-up to the bicentenary in 2005, of Nelson’s victory and death at the battle of Trafalgar on October 21st, 1805. The materialisation of my insane thoughts, erhem*… but people seemed to like them at the time and I’m still very fond of the humour presented in these drawings. Nelson himself was often one for exaggeration.
