User:Jackyd101/Images of the Battle of Camperdown

A listing of paintings and engravings that depict the Battle of Camperdown. Although I originally planned an article on this subject, I have been defeated by both the lack of available academic sources and the inability to download and use those representations that are still under copyright (although links to many such images are on this special page's talk page). However, I am keeping this here for both my own future use and the possibility that I might one day get hold of some sources and make something of this.
