This popular image was first engraved by Charles Turner after Hoppner’s painting for the Prince of Wales’s Carlton House residence. In the original painting of 1801 Hoppner depicted the Battle of Copenhagen in the background. However in Turner’s mezzotint of 1806 and this example the background scene depicts Trafalgar.
