Description

Medium includes bodycolour and graphite. The 120-gun first rate 'Trafalgar' was launched at Woolwich Royal Dockyard in June 1841. She had a displacement of 2694 tons and during the Crimean War took part in the bombardment of Sebastopol in 1854. 'Trafalgar' was later renamed 'Boscawen' and used as a boys training ship at Portland before being broken up. The artist's name as received here is 'Cape' but it may be a misreading for Thomas Cafe junior.
