Battle of the Nile. Representing the situation of the two Fleets, previous to the blowing up of the L'Orient, on the Night of Aug.1. 1798.
Whitcomb Pinx.t. Hellyer Sculp.t.
London, Published Jan.y 1 1806 by R. Bowyer, Historic Gallery Pall Mall.
Coloured aquatint. Sheet 475 x 715mm (18¾ x 28"). Trimmed inside platemark, repairs, few creases.
The Battle of the Nile (or Aboukir Bay), fought between the British and French navies on the Mediterranean Coast off Egypt from 1-3 August 1798, which resulted in a decisive victory for the British under the command of Lord Nelson. This print shows the decisive moment when the French flagship 'Orient' (in the centre of the image) caught fire. The British, observing this, directed their cannon fire into the blaze, spreading the flames and preventing French efforts to extinguish the fire. The other ships seen here, both French and British, then moved away from the 'Orient' in anticipation of the huge explosion which took place once the fire reached the ship's magazines.
