A new portrait of Lady Nelson in old age has come to light.

There are a few 'howlers' in the text. How many can you spot?

Thanks for that Anna. Here is some more info. And it looks as if there will be an article in the next Nelson Dispatch.

As usual I will take a bit more convincing that this really is a portrait of Fanny. If the cameo on bracelet really is Nelson that's fine but I just can't really see it clearly enough.

I won't comment any further until we have all seen the article in the Dispatch.
