Description
English: HMS 'Victory 'at Portsmouth, on Trafalgar Day (21 October), prior to her restoration
Signed by the artist, in the lower left margin. The ship is shown in port-broadside view, with a wreath hoisted high in her rigging and flying Nelson's Trafalgar signal ('England expects...' , etc). Although only an indicative representation, the battleship in the far right background is most probably one of the 'R'-class after coffee-pot searchlight towers were introduced on the pole mainmast in 1917. This etching is one of a pair, the other showing the Victory' in the 'Trafalgar condition' that the 'Save the Victory' campaign planned to restore her to when she was moved into permanent dry-dock at Portsmouth in 1921. Wyllie made them for sale in support of the campaign when it was launched in 1921-22, as mentioned in Geoffrey Callender's obituary tribute to him in the 'Mariner's Mirror' (vol. XVII, April 1931), though Callender calls them 'drypoints', which does not appear to be strictly the case. [BTodd/PvdM 6/13]
