Popis:

Sir Hugh Palliser Bart. Governor of the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich (from the 'European Magazine')Palliser (1723-96) was appointed Governor of Greenwich Hospital in 1780, as one of the last acts of his patron Lord Sandwich, First Lord of the Admiralty, before the fall of Lord North's government.

Palliser, who rose to Admiral in 1787, had retained Sandwich's support in the face of the public opprobrium which made him loser in the 'Keppel Affair' - the recriminations following the Battle of Ushant in 1778, in which he was a vice-admiral and Keppel's second-in-command. He repaid the debt by commissioning Gainsborough to paint Sandwich's portrait for the Hospital in 1783 (see BHC3009). On his death in 1796 - which this print marks - he left a number of other paintings relating to his own career to the Hospital.
