'Dresses a la Nile respectfully dedicated to the Fashion Mongers of the day' Hand-coloured caricature 'Dresses a la Nile respectfully dedicated to the Fashion Mongers of the day'. A gentle lampoon against British fashionable society, making facetious suggestions for ways to incorporate the topical news of Nelson’s victory over the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile on 1 August into the latest fashions. It was commonplace for people to display patriotic sentiment or political opinions (for example, for the campaign for the abolition of the slave trade) through dress or other accoutrements, but this satire takes this trend to ridiculous extremes, with its overabundant and absurd Egyptian references. It also maintains a staple iconography of satirical prints, treating the excesses of fashion. On the left, the woman is virtually mummified in her white dress decorated with crocodiles. Opposite her, the man’s costume is even more extravagant, consisting of crocodile skin coat, waistcoat and reptilian boots. His hat also sports a bright yellow crocodile. They stare at each other in mutual astonishment at the other’s appearance. To complete the topical references, and by way of explanation of the outfits, both wear hats with the motto ‘Nelson and Victory’.

'Lord Nelson engaging the Toulon Fleet off the Mouth of the Nile' This vignette aerial view of the Battle of the Nile, 1 August 1798, was published in the first issue of the 'Naval Chronicle' in 1799, effectively as plate III (f. p 42) although numbering did not start until plate V. A brief note on p. 42 states that the view is taken from the south-east looking west, with Rosetta in the distance beyond the Aboukir Fort. Later in the year, facing p. 521, the same journal published a 'Chart of the Bay of Aboukir', with a battle plan related to this illustration. This was also drawn up by Pocock from information supplied by both a French and British officer present.

Battle of the Nile, Augt. 1st 1798 Plate I. After a long and anxious search through the Mediterranean, Nelson's fleet discovered the French warships covering Napoleon's invasion of Egypt at anchor in Aboukir Bay, near Alexandria at the mouth of the River Nile. With a perfect application of the initiative that comes from exactly knowing their admiral's wishes and intentions, the British captains attacked without hesitation, some ships taking the French on the unprotected landward side, where the French thought no ship could pass. Only two major French ships escaped capture or destruction in the night-long battle. Nelson had set a new standard by which to judge a victory. Battle of the Nile, Augt. 1st 1798
