Commissioned by Greens of Cheltenham for renowned artefacts dealer Martyn Downer, this brochure was designed to honour a national relic: the Union Flag flown from Royal Sovereign, Vice Admiral Collingwood’s flagship, by order of Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805.
The cover features the flag alone—no title, no text—inviting reverence through simplicity. Inside, the story is brought to life with carefully chosen illustrations that evoke the context and drama of the battle, adding visual depth to the narrative.
Recently rediscovered and now offered for sale, this symbol of naval history is presented with the care and gravity it deserves.
