Artist's Comments

I recently re-watched "That Hamilton Woman" (1941) with Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh and was inspired to do a little research regarding the facts of Admiral Lord Nelson's affair with Emma, Lady Hamilton.

The two portraits featured are by George Romney and Lemuel Abbott. The other items are Nelson's Order of Britain and a sketch of Nelson being greeted by Lord Hamilton's barge in the harbor of Naples.

This is one of two wallpapers I made on this theme. The companion piece features Nelson's final letter, written two days before his death, to Lady Hamilton.
