EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "HM Turret-Ship 'Dreadnought'" takes us back to a significant moment in naval history. Created by William Edward Atkins in 1878, this print showcases the mighty warship that revolutionized maritime warfare. The image transports us to the hurricane deck of the Dreadnought on a dark and mysterious night. The upper deck is bustling with activity as sailors prepare for battle against an unseen enemy. A Gatling gun stands ready, its cylinder spinning with deadly anticipation. Electric lights illuminate the scene, casting eerie shadows on the stanchions and bower anchors. Intriguingly, we are given a stern view of this impressive vessel, allowing us to appreciate its sheer size and power. The surrounding dockyard extension works hint at ongoing advancements in naval technology during this era. Notably, we observe sections dedicated to loading and raising torpedoes while turrets stand tall like guardians of the sea. Target practice is underway as shells are fired from guns mounted on masts and derricks. This engraving offers a glimpse into the world of naval warfare during a time when technological innovations were rapidly transforming military strategies. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and ingenuity displayed by armed forces throughout history. As we admire this historical piece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it remind us of our shared human story shaped by both triumphs and challenges faced by navies around the world.
