EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Compasses of the Great Eastern" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the maritime world of that era. The image showcases an intricate panel filled with compasses, meticulously arranged in the chief saloon of the legendary ship. The Great Eastern, known for its immense size and technological advancements, was a marvel of its time. This print provides a rare insight into one aspect of this magnificent vessel – its navigation system. The compasses displayed on this panel were crucial instruments used by sailors to guide their way through uncharted waters. As we delve deeper into the details captured by this English School engraving, we can almost imagine ourselves on board this historic ship. We can envision crew members hoisting sails and navigating their way across vast oceans using these very compasses. The blue peter flag fluttering in the background adds an extra touch of authenticity to this scene. It symbolizes that departure is imminent and serves as a signal for all passengers and crew members to return onboard before setting sail. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images not only celebrates the artistry involved in creating such engravings but also pays homage to an era when ships like the Great Eastern ruled over vast expanses of water, carrying dreams and adventures within their sturdy hulls.
