Very good, but it's a pity that the current level of knowlege amongst BBC caption writers is such that credit for 'The Midshipman' is given to Alamy and not Thomas Rawlinson 1757 to 1827. https://www.napoleon-series.org/military-info/organization/Britain/Navy/c_Rowlandson.html Alamy and Getty Images have a habit of Hoovering up such artwork.
