EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Charles William Wyllie captures a momentous event in British maritime history - the floating of HMS "Majestic" at Portsmouth on 31 January. The focal point of the image is Princess Louise, elegantly dressed and holding a ceremonial bottle, as she christens the majestic ship. Her presence adds an air of royalty and prestige to this significant occasion. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as spectators gather to witness this grand spectacle. The ship, resplendent in all its glory, floats gracefully on the water while flags flutter proudly in the breeze. This enchanting print beautifully showcases the power and beauty of naval engineering. Wyllie's attention to detail brings every element of this historic event to life - from the intricate carvings on the ship's hull to each individual figure present at this ceremony. The artist masterfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys a sense of national pride and unity. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 9 February 1895, allowing people across Britain to marvel at this extraordinary event. Today, it serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and celebrates both technological advancements and royal traditions that have shaped our nation throughout history.
