For crimsongriffin: Nelson's First Farewell

As luck would have it, my boss took us out to lunch in honor of the made-up Administrative Professionals' Day "holiday," at the local seafood restaurant, Horatio's. I took the opportunity to get a better look at a print that hangs in one corner and identified it as a turn of the century print of "Nelson's First Farewell" published by Cassel & Co. and taken from a painting by one George Joy.

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England, of course has a copy in its holdings.

The original George Joy painting dates to 1883.
