EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in maritime history. The image showcases "The Dover Packet 'Empress' on the Sands at Calais, showing the Damaged Paddle-box". The vessel stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a sandy beach, its paddle-box visibly damaged. The intricate details of this print bring to life the rugged beauty of this historic ship. Its weathered exterior tells tales of countless voyages across treacherous waters. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the salty breeze that once surrounded this magnificent vessel. "The Dover Packet 'Empress'" was no stranger to adversity, as evidenced by its damaged paddle-box. This visual reminder serves as a testament to both its resilience and strength in navigating through challenging conditions. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on January 12th, 1895. It offers us a glimpse into an era when steam-powered ships ruled the seas and provided vital transportation links between England and France. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let our imaginations wander back in time to an age where seafaring adventures were filled with uncertainty yet held immense allure for those brave enough to embark upon them.
