Gillray’s response to Nelson’s death at Trafalgar showing him collapsed on the deck of the ‘Victory’, eyes rolling upward, embraced by a forlorn Hardy with George III’s features. He is cradled by a melodramatically tearful Britannia, in a classical ‘attitude’ of grief: she has the unmistakable features of Emma, Lady Hamilton. The kneeling ‘British Tar’ is probably intended to be the Duke of Clarence, later William IV. Above, the winged figure of Fame (or Victory) trumpets Nelson’s ‘Immortality’, while the battle rages in the background amid impenetrable billowing smoke. The caption refers to the ‘Memorial intended by the City of London to commemorate the Glorious Death of the immortal Nelson’, alluding to the spate of proposals for some form of permanent memorial that came almost immediately in the wake of Nelson’s death and funeral.
