EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Attack on the Ville de Paris" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history during the Battle of the Saintes in April 1782. The artist, William Heysham Overend, skillfully captures the intensity and drama of this naval engagement that occurred during the American Revolutionary War. The focus of this artwork is on the majestic ship, Ville de Paris, commanded by French admiral Francois Joseph Paul, Comte de Grasse. As we gaze at this impressive vessel with its billowing sails and intricate details, we can almost feel the tension mounting as it becomes surrounded by enemy ships. Overend's attention to detail allows us to witness every aspect of this battle scene - from cannons firing and smoke billowing across the water to smaller boats maneuvering alongside larger warships. This print not only showcases maritime warfare but also highlights the bravery and determination of those involved in combat during this tumultuous period. Displayed within a private collection today, this historical gem provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in naval history. It serves as a reminder of how art can preserve significant moments for generations to come. Through Overend's masterful engraving technique and Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most decisive battles at sea.
