Légende

Lloyd's of London, c1955. In 1803, the committee of Lloyd's merchants and underwriters founded the Lloyd's Patriotic Fund to honour the brave and provide for the wounded and dependents of those killed in major Napoleonic battles. In the years that followed, Lloyd's amassed a varied assortment of artefacts and memorabilia associated with Admiral Horatio Nelson, including his Collar of the Order of the Bath, the logbook of HMS Euryalus, and silverware originally awarded by the Lloyd's Patriotic Fund. Seen here is a depiction of the signal flags conveying Nelson's message to his men at the Battle of Trafalgar: 'England expects that every man will do his duty'. A portrait of Nelson, probably by Lemuel Francis Abbott, is flanked by naval and maritime insignia. In the bookcase below are letters and documents of Lloyd's Nelson Collection.
