| Description |
English: Battle of the Glorious First of June (Ushant), 1794 Robert Cleveley is not known to have been at the Battle of the First of June. However, it is clear from Joseph Farington, the artist and diarist, that within two months of the battle, he was working on designs for engravings to be published by the publisher de Poggi the following year. The result was two very large pictures of which de Poggi opened an exhibition at his Bond Street gallery on 21 February 1795, promoting the sale of large subscription prints from them by B. T. Pouncy (PAI5711), issued in August 1795, and Thomas Medland (PAI5709), issued in February 1796. See van der Merwe 'The Glorious First of June: A Battle of Art and Theatre' in B. Duffy and R. Morriss (eds) ' The Glorious First of June 1794: a Naval Battle and its Aftermath' (Exeter). This drawing does not relate directly to the paintings/prints mentioned. |
