Exmouth

A bust-length portrait of Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth (1757–1833) in admiral’s full-dress uniform, 1812–25, wearing the ribbon of the Order of the Bath over the ribbon of the Sicilian Order of Saint Ferdinand with the stars of both orders on his left breast and the cross of the Sardinian Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus on a ribbon around his neck. He rests both hands on the hilt of his sword. Lettered beneath the image with a facsimile of the sitter’s signature. The portrait is after William Owen’s oil painting of 1818, which is now in the National Maritime Museum (see BHC2685). This print appears to be an early state of the plate engraved by William Jackman in 1840 for E. H. Maxwell (ed.), ‘The Naval and Military Almanac’ (London: A. H. Baily & Co., 1840), August, opposite page 34, alongside a biography of the sitter – see PAD4509. (Updated May 2019.)
