EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense naval battle between HMS Sirius, under the command of Captain Rowse, and a French Squadron at the mouth of the Tiber on April 17th, 1806. The scene is brought to life through the skilled engraving by T. Sutherland for The Naval Chronology of Great Britain by J. Ralfe, published in 1820. In this dramatic moment frozen in time, billowing smoke fills the air as cannons roar and frigates clash amidst choppy waters. The rowing boats scurry about with urgency, ferrying troops and supplies to aid in this fierce maritime confrontation. Each vessel becomes a floating fortress armed with powerful guns ready to unleash their deadly force upon their adversaries. The artist's attention to detail captures not only the chaos of battle but also highlights the bravery and skill displayed by both sides involved. This historic encounter serves as a testament to the strength and determination of these naval forces during an era defined by conflict on land and sea. As part of The Stapleton Collection held within a private collection today, this coloured engraving offers viewers a glimpse into one pivotal moment in naval history. It reminds us of those who fought valiantly aboard these battleships while showcasing Whitcombe's artistic talent that immortalizes this significant event for generations to come.
