Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... the statues she represented. He (Lord Northwick) was on board Nelson's ship when Caracciolo was taken and brought aboard. His description was most graphic of the whole scene. Of Caracciolo's trial in the cabin he said little, though from his knowledge of the language, he was made useful in some of the proceedings. He said the admiral was fairly tried, but it was by his own countrymen, who were his enemies, and that all he begged was that his execution might be delayed till the King decided on his fate. Lady Hamilton had, however, determined upon his execution, and Nelson thought he was only performing a stern duty. As Caracciolo passed across the deck, he threw himself at Captain Troubridge's feet and clung to his knees to ask that he might have time, but although all pitied him, they found Nelson inflexible. His trial was over at one o'clock, and he was (I believe) ordered for immediate execution; Lady Hamilton was determined that he should be hanged before dinner., o 1 fv They were all assembled in the cabin, Lady Hamilton at the head of the table, when a gun was discharged, and at the sound she jumped up with a grand and tragic air, and said, " Thank God, there is the end of a traitor! " It was the note of Caracciolo's execution. The company were aghast, and the dinner was a most gloomy one. The King, when he heard of the execution of the admiral, was doggedly and sullenly angry, and he would not come near Nelson. He left the ship, choosing rather to trust his own revolutionary subjects. Lady Hamilton, when she heard of the King's sullenness (he loved Caracciolo, and believed that, as he asserted, he was forced into revolution), told Nelson that she would bring him back, and she had a barge fitted up with the ship's band, and another...

Author: Ceramics in the Victorian Era

Book Description
This book broadens the discussion of pottery and china in the Victorian era by situating them in the national, imperial, design reform, and domestic debates between 1840 and 1890. Largely ignored in recent scholarship, Ceramics in the Victorian Era: Meanings and Metaphors in Painting and Literature argues that the signification of a pot, a jug, or a tableware pattern can be more fully discerned in written and painted representations. Across five case studies, the book explores a rhetoric and set of conventions that developed within the representation of ceramics, emerging in the late-18th century, and continuing in the Victorian period. Each case study begins with a textual passage exemplifying the outlined theme and closes with an object analysis to demonstrate how the fusing of text, image, and object are critical to attaining the period eye in order to better understand the metaphorical meanings of ceramics. Essential reading not only for ceramics scholars, but also those of material culture, the book mines the rich and diverse archive of Victorian painting and literature, from the avant-garde to the sentimental, from the well-known to the more obscure, to shed light on the at once complex and simple implications of ceramics' agencies at this time.
