HMS Temeraire in action at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Here you see it firing at the French ship Bucentaure. (actually not sure which ship is the Temeraire, but still nice to see it doing what it was built for)
The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth. 1839.
By J M W Turner.
I always loved this painting for many reasons. But then I while back I found out that it was the HMS Temeraire that came to the aid of HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It came along side the French ship Redoutable which was heavily engaged with the Victory. Redoutable was forced to surrender.

As for date id guess around 1810.
Rather charming, this painting I feel.

The uniform I beleive to be from a personal elite regiment of Napoleon III that is all I know as Andre was a member. But of what in particular I do not know.
