This silk pocket square depicts a painting that represents the moment Nelson was hit with the final shot. You can see him lying left of centre and if you draw your eye towards the top right you see the smoking gun of the French marksman, high in the rigging of his ship, the Redoutable.
The wonderful thing about printed paintings on silk pocket squares is that they can produce a number of different effects depending on how they are folded and creates a great topic for conversation once pulled out of the breast pocket.
