omschrijvingA large jug, transfer-printed in red-brown with a sailor in striped trousers holding a stick high in his left hand, arm-in-arm with a lady; a church and a ship in the background. Inscription: 'JACK SPRITSAIL'S FROLIC/Ah! how boldly in Battle we charge on the foe/Let the Dutchmen, the Frenchmen, Hispania all tell/On a cruise in loves Harbour when ardent we go,/Say who boxes the compass my lasses so well.' On the other side, a scene of parting, the man in breeches, stockings, striped waistcoat and coat, comforting his lady. 'Dear to the Mother's fluttering heart/The tender Brood must be/But not so dear a thousand part/As Delia is to me'. Under the lip, a portrait of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) with ships below. Above the portrait is inscribed 'England expects every Man will do his Duty/And we will have Twenty/of them' below 'ADML LORD NELSON', under two small ships beneath 'Santissima Trinidad' 'Victory'. Small battle scenes on either side of the lip and some hand-painted decoration. Based on a print 'Jack Spritsail and his Nancy on a Cruise' published May 1789 by J. Roach. Another version in C. N. Robinson's 'British Tar in Fact and Fiction' (1909), which he says is a frontispiece to a naval jest book.
