EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Launch of the German Screw Corvette Sedan, at Stettin" takes us back to a significant moment in maritime history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the grandeur and excitement surrounding ship launches during that era. The scene is set in Stettin (now known as Szczecin), Poland, where a crowd has gathered to witness the launch of this magnificent vessel. The German Screw Corvette Sedan stands tall and proud on its maiden voyage into the open waters. Its sleek design and powerful engines are evident even from this static image. The illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 1st, 1876, capturing readers' attention with its detailed depiction of this remarkable event. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess during a time when ships were at the forefront of global exploration and trade. As we gaze upon this piece today, it transports us back to an era filled with anticipation and wonder. We can almost hear the cheers of onlookers as they bid farewell to their loved ones embarking on new adventures across distant seas. This print not only commemorates a specific ship launch but also symbolizes humanity's unyielding spirit for discovery and progress. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem within their Private Collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance within naval history.
