From the Met Museum
On 1 June 1794, the Royal Navy fought one of the most famous battles of the Age of Sail.
Known as the Glorious First of June, it was the first major fleet action between Britain and Revolutionary France during the French Revolutionary Wars.
For days, the two fleets manoeuvred across the Atlantic. The British, under Admiral Lord Howe, sought to intercept a vital French grain convoy carrying food desperately needed by a nation facing shortages and political upheaval. The French fleet, commanded by Admiral Villaret de Joyeuse, was determined to protect it.
When the fleets finally met, the fighting was fierce. Ships exchanged devastating broadsides at close range as thousands of sailors and marines faced the realities of battle at sea.
By the end of the action, six French ships had been captured and Britain celebrated what was seen as a great naval victory.
Painting by Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg, 1795

Mourning Locket

Artist: unknown, possibly Ezra Ames (1768-1836)
Dieses unholde Wetter, das alle Empfindungswerkzeuge zuschließt, hat mich in voriger Woche für alles was Leben heißt vernichtet, und mir ist, da ich aus diesem Geistesschlummer wieder zu mir selbst komme, als ob ich Sie nach einem langen Zwischenraume wieder fände. Herzlich verlangt mich nach einer freundlichen Spur von Ihnen. Damit etwas bei Ihnen sei, was mich Ihnen zuweilen vergegenwärtigt, so gönnen Sie beifolgendem Bilde irgend einen Platz in Ihrem Hause, welchen Sie wollen, nur nicht den, wo Sie das Reinholdische Portrait begraben haben.
— Schiller an Goethe, 16. November 1794
