I picked out a few of my favorites from The Lord Nelson Gallery by artist John Buxton...
there are many on display...
but these are the ones I really liked...
thought you might enjoy...
Deserter...In a Tight Spot by John Buxton
Blacksmith of Venango 1752 by John Buxton
This is a portrait of John Frazier who, with a few other English traders on the upper Allegheny river in 1752, were visited by friendly local natives that appreciated his skill at metal repair. By mid-1753 the French had taken his cabin in Venango and he fled to Turtle Creek near the Monongahela River. His cabin there was visited by young George Washington in 1753 and 1754.
