EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Guerre de Succession d'Autriche, also known as the War of Jenkins' Ear, which took place from 1739 to 1748. The image depicts the dramatic Capture of Porto Bello by Admiral Edward Vernon on November 22,1739. Created by Samuel Scott in 1741, this color lithograph showcases his exceptional talent for capturing naval battles and cityscapes. The scene is filled with action and intensity as smoke billows from the bombardment, engulfing the cityscape. Ships and rowboats can be seen navigating through the chaos while transporting troops to engage in battle. Porto Bello was a strategic port located in Panama, Central America, making it an important target for both England and Spain during this time of colonialism. This event marked a significant victory for Admiral Edward Vernon and his British forces against their Spanish rivals. The artwork not only highlights the destructive nature of war but also serves as a testament to English naval power during the 18th century. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when nations fought fiercely for control over territories across continents. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection and provides us with valuable insights into historical events that shaped our world today.
