A Superb Aigrette, The Present of The Grand Signior to Admiral Lord Nelson, Called a Chelnigh, or Plume of Triumph...
[n.d., c.1800.]
Engraving. Sheet 165 x 95mm (6½ x 3¾"). Trimmed and laid on album paper.
A special chelengk, a diamond-encrusted Ottoman military decoration, presented to Admiral Nelson by Sultan Selim III in honour of the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Whether the artist had seen Nelson's chelengk is doubtful, because it does not match the replica in the National Maritime Museum (made after the original was stolen in 1951 and never recovered). Lemuel Francis Abbott painted Nelson in uniform with the chelengk in his hat, but again probably had not seen it.
