Early 19th Century Print of the Battle of Camperdown 1797.

An original hand coloured print circa 1800 of Admiral Duncan's victory over the Dutch fleet in 1797. The Battle of Camperdown (known in Dutch as the Zeeslag bij Kamperduin) was a major naval action fought on 11 October 1797, between the British North Sea Fleet under Admiral Adam Duncan and a Batavian Naval fleet under Vice-Admiral Jan de Winter. The battle was the most significant action between British and Dutch forces during the French Revolutionary Wars and resulted in a complete victory for the British, who captured eleven Dutch ships without losing any of their own. This antique print is in very good condition, the white space is a little discoloured but this is nice and even and doesn't look unsightly. It is framed and glaze in a 1950's style of frame and measures 14 x 10.5 inches. Ready to hang.
