Trafalgar, the Nile and the ironclads of the late Victorian navy fill the prints of Charles Edward Dixon, the British marine artist (1872–1934). The collection centres on naval illustrations published in 1901, combining reconstructed historical actions, including the cutting out of the Hermione, with the fleet of the day at Spithead reviews and in harbour. His ships range from wooden ships of the line to ironclads, armoured cruisers and torpedo boats, with named vessels off Portsmouth, Plymouth, Gibraltar and Table Bay, and training squadrons and manoeuvres take the story beyond battle.
