In the last paragraph of page 42 Finberg refers to RA exhibited 'sea' themes, describing 1796 'Fishermen At Sea' as a drawing, including two of the four 1799 oils, 'Battle of the Nile' and 'Fishermen Becalmed', in his text.
Then at the bottom of page 43 he describes 'Battle of the Nile' as: '...a large 'Battle of the Nile' (1799).'
