EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "British Ships in American Waters" takes us back to the year 1896 when tensions between Britain and America were palpable. The print, created by Fred T. Jane and part of a private collection, was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on January 4th. The artwork showcases an impressive fleet of British ships sailing through American waters with great purpose and determination. Among them are notable vessels such as Retribution, Tartar, Acorn, Pelican, Maritime, Royal Navy Satellite, Buzzard, Icarus - each representing the might and strength of the British naval forces. These ships were stationed not only in Venezuelan waters but also across North America and the West Indies. They served as flagships for important missions under the command of senior officers aboard Royal Arthur, Comus, Pheasant or Wild Swan. As we gaze upon this historical scene captured by Jane's skilled hand engraving technique from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection; we can't help but imagine the significance these ships held during that era. Their presence symbolized both power projection and protection for British interests throughout the Western Hemisphere. This litho serves as a reminder of how naval forces played a crucial role in shaping history while showcasing their grandeur against a backdrop of Canadian landscapes and Pacific stations. It is indeed an extraordinary piece that transports us to another time where armies clashed at sea while troops stood ready to defend their nations' honor alongside royalty.
