Description
English: The Brave Tars of the Victory, and the Remains of the Lamented Nelson (caricature)

This caricature captures some of the controversy that surrounded the funeral. Originally, the authorities wanted to bring Nelson’s body home in a fast frigate – but the sailors of the Victory insisted that they wanted to bring him home themselves. Hand-coloured. [This is the first numerical print entry of satires by George Murgatroyd Woodward, born c. 1765 Stanton-le-Dale, Derbys., - died 1809 London, whose substantial archive including many nautical subjects is now in the Derbyshire County Archive.
