<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 39853, member: 56"]Any thoughts on this print? I think the print itself dates to the late 19th or early 20th C, but the subject matter may be the Napoleonic Wars. I'm tentatively guessing Nelson at Aboukir Bay, 1798, where French ships were captured. The plate impression 12 ½” by 19 5/8”. It's pencil signed with a name I can't quite read (maybe Whithead?), and is numbered No.6, which might indicate this to be the 6th in a series of images. Any thoughts on subject, artist, or what else the number might mean?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Paintings%20Prints/PrintEtchingAquatintAlfWhitheadBritishFleetCapturedFrenchShips-a_zps7f032d61.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Paintings%20Prints/PrintEtchingAquatintAlfWhitheadBritishFleetCapturedFrenchShips-e_zpsf9fe819d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Paintings%20Prints/PrintEtchingAquatintAlfWhitheadBritishFleetCapturedFrenchShips-f_zps5985d14d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Paintings%20Prints/PrintEtchingAquatintAlfWhitheadBritishFleetCapturedFrenchShips-g_zps22830899.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Paintings%20Prints/PrintEtchingAquatintAlfWhitheadBritishFleetCapturedFrenchShips-j_zps3273b3d0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
