A small version of a picture exhibited by Millais at the Royal Academy in 1868, with the title Pilgrims to St. Paul's (where Nelson is buried). The large picture (56 x 44in.), which, like the present version, was bought from the artist by Agnew's, was destroyed in a fire at Tilbrook Hall, near Kimbolton, in 1933.
We are grateful to Dr. Malcolm Warner for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
