Who is so brave so kind and so free. As he defendeth the Queen of the Sea. If a foe should advance he’s then at your call. If you crave his assistance he’ll give you his all. He loves you in peace and protects you in war. Oh who is so kind as the brave British tar.” In very good condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. It measures 7 1/4” by 8 1/4” and dates circa 1860’s. Ex. Baecker collection.
