241 Admiral Edward Russell, Earl of Orford (27) . . . . . Sir G. Kneller.
Half length, to the right; in blue. His left hand is on his hip, his right has a bâton.
This is the famous admiral in the reign of William and Mary, who gained the victory of La Hogue against the French fleet under Tourville.
This portrait is one of the series of admirals painted for William III.
242 Portrait of General Spalken (910). . . . . unnamed.
Three-quarters in length. Bareheaded, with grey hair. His right arm rests on a table, on which is his cocked hat; his left is in his belt. He wears a general’s uniform, a red coat with blue facings, a long white waistcoat with brass buttons, and white breeches.
I can find nothing about Spalken.
243 Admiral Sir Thomas Dilks (9). . . . . After Kneller by Bockman.
This is the hero of a brilliant action in Cancalli Bay in 1703, when a small English squadron attacked a fleet of forty-three French merchantmen with three men-of-war, and captured them all.
