Provenance
With Jonathan Horne, 1981
Graham Slater Collection

Whilst the identity of the captain or the ship commemorated on this bowl remain unclear, an English merchant ship by this name of 150 tons was taken by the French privateer Comtesse de Provence in 1779 whilst under the command of Robert Seymour and may be the same vessel. For a discussion of the attribution of the painting of these ship bowls to William Jackson, a distinctive painter active from around 1756 to 1794, see Bernard Watney, 'William Jackson of Liverpool', ECC Trans, Vol.15, Pt.1 (1993), pp.122-33.
