nodear and I bumped into Admiral James Saumarez while we were in Portsmouth last weekend. You've got to hand it to the man, he knows how to strike a pose!

Fabulous!

He is rather, isn't he?!

I'd love to see him being told "Move over, man! I want to see the ships." :>

Judging by his look of mingled conempt and disdain, I suspect that's exactly what he's just been told!

He looks like a smug toad!

I suspect Ned Pellew would agree with you :}

Ned writes

Just so, dear Anteros, just so

still it could have been Bridport ...an Admiral must be grateful for small mercies

There is nothing wrong with a smug toad. He probably is just feeling blue...

*groan* Uncalled for... ;)

What is it with this pose - Cuddy's elegant legs are more suited to it than Saumarez
Mercifully no artist ever suggested Ned's well made frame was ever displayed thus :)

Ned from that particular angle would be breathtaking! ;)

[nodbear.livejournal.com]

Ned from that angle would attract the attention sure thing;)

The icon doesn't really capture it but this photo suggests to me that Mr Lindsay had been studying the iconography of the age :)

This reminded me of the admirals underthings you guys went off on, that time. Did this guy not have a part in that?

(I can never read of Collingwood now without thinking about his underpants!)

It was Saumarez that started it!! Him with his fancy ethical langerie firm.

I think he's still hipped about his barge. (Reference the sample chapter of Sailing Dangerous Waters: Another Stone Island Sea Story I posted a few weeks ago.)
