Since 1763 the name 'Russborough' has been synonymous with collecting and dealing in fine art. In the closing decades of the last century the historic town of Port Hope has become home to Lord Russborough's Annex, which specialises in an individual mix of antique maps, paintings and prints.

While Lord Russborough's Annex features a great many works of museum calibre, we also offer a wonderful selection of prints priced at under $100.

Numerous ships of the combined English & French Fleets in the Baltic, 1854. during the Crimean War can be seen in these images including The Princess Royal, Austerlitz, Duke of Wellington, Amphion & Blenheim The Crimean War came in that period when steam was just beginning to take over navies, and just before the advent of the ironclad warship, there were 14 steam vessels similar to the Princess Royal (shown here), and about 20 large sailing vessels had their small paddle steamer to maneuver them about. Here is a part of the fleet off Hango, Finland, at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland. After the nearby fortress of Bomarsund was captured, the Russians blew up the fort at Hango to forestall attack on the city of Hango.
