EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Coaling Station, Fernando Po" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an important maritime hub. The print showcases the bustling coaling station located on the picturesque island of Fernando Po (now known as Bioko) in Equatorial Guinea. With intricate details and skilled artistry, this English School masterpiece captures the essence of coastal life during that era. The viewer is transported to a time when ships relied on these stations for refueling and restocking coal supplies before continuing their voyages across vast oceans. The image portrays a vibrant scene along the shoreline, where workers are seen diligently loading coal onto waiting vessels. The coast stretches out majestically in the background, with waves gently crashing against it - a reminder of both the beauty and power of nature. This historic engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 6th, 1873. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ceaseless quest for exploration and trade across seas. Now part of a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of advancements in transportation while honoring those who played crucial roles in shaping our maritime history.
