EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aquatint and etching print captures the majestic ship 'Pitt' near Dover as it returns from its voyage to China in 1787. The intricate details of the vessel, created by artist Dominic Serres and engraver John William Edy, showcase the grandeur of this historic moment in maritime history.
The 'Pitt' was part of the East India Company fleet, symbolizing Britain's growing influence in global trade during the 18th century. As it sails gracefully along the English coastline, we are transported back in time to a period when seafaring was not just a means of transportation, but a way of life for many.
The calm waters surrounding Dover provide a picturesque backdrop for this scene, highlighting the beauty of both nature and human craftsmanship. The precision and skill involved in creating this artwork is evident in every line and shadow, making it a true masterpiece that deserves admiration.
As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the creaking of wooden planks and feel the salty breeze on our faces. It serves as a reminder of an era when exploration and adventure were at the forefront of society's imagination. The 'Pitt' may have returned from its journey long ago, but its legacy lives on through works like these that capture its essence for generations to come.
