A print commemorating the British victory over the Dutch fleet at the Battle of Camperdown on 11 October 1797. The upper part of the print is an allegorical composition designed by the history painter Robert Smirke and engraved by James Parker. Britannia is carried through the waves in a horse-drawn chariot. She holds a palm in her right hand and a trident in her left. Fame flies overhead, blowing a trumpet. The chariot is attended by a sea nymph and two tritons, one of whom is blowing a conch. The masts of a ship are visible in the background amid plumes of smoke. The lower part of the print takes the form of a fictive stone tablet, lettered in the centre ‘Commemoration of the XIth October MDCCXCVII’. On top of the tablet are the portraits of the flag officers of the British fleet at the Battle of Camperdown: Admiral Adam Duncan and, at a slightly lower level, Vice-Admiral Richard Onslow. Set within the tablet are the portraits of the captains of the fleet (clockwise from top left: Henry Trollope; John Inglis; John Knight; William George Fairfax; Thomas Byard; William O’Bryen Drury; John Wells; Richard Rundle Burges; Peter Halkett; James Walker; William Hotham; William Bligh; George Gregory; William Mitchell; Edward O’Bryen; and William Essington). The portraits were engraved by George Noble after original miniatures by John Smart. This print was published by the print-publisher Robert Bowyer in 1802–3 as part of a set of four double-elephant-sized engravings, grouped under the title ‘Commemoration of the Four Great Naval Victories’. These four prints commemorated the major British naval victories of the 1790s: the Glorious First of June (1 June 1794), Cape St Vincent (14 February 1797), Camperdown (11 October 1797) and the Nile (1–3 August 1798). All four followed the same format, combining an allegorical composition by Smirke with portrait medallions of the flag officers and captains of the victorious fleets. This print is mounted in album with PAI4811–PAI4838, PAI4840–PAI4862; Page 35; Item added to the end of the contents list. (Updated April 2019).
