[Profile portraits of Nelson and Collingwood]
[n.d., c.1820.]
Rare lithograph. Printed area 110 x 210mm (4¼ x 8¼").
A pair of profile portraits, drawn when the two naval heroes were captains serving in the West Indies. On the left is a sketch portrait of a young Horatio Nelson drawn by Cuthbert Collingwood; on the right is a silhouette of Collingwood by Nelson. According to the National Maritime Museum, ''probably in late 1784, they met on Antigua at Commissioner Moutray’s house. Mrs Mary Moutray later recalled, ‘Nelson had lost his hair from fever, and its place had been so grotesquely supplied by the art of the West Indian perruquier, that Captain Collingwood said to him one day, ‘I must draw you, Nelson, in that wig.' ... When the laughter which created this was over, Captain Nelson said, ''And now, Collingwood, in revenge I will draw you in that queue of yours''.
