EDITORS COMMENTS

Painted by Charles Edward Dixon and now part of a private collection, this colour lithograph beautifully depicts the grandeur and strength of this impressive vessel. The "London" was an awe-inspiring battleship, weighing a staggering 15,000 tons. Launched on September 21st, 1899, it stood as a symbol of Britain's maritime supremacy during that era. With its heaviest gun weighing an astonishing 46 tons and measuring 12 inches in diameter, it showcased the technological advancements achieved by British shipbuilders. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to that historic day when thousands gathered to witness this monumental occasion. The bustling port city of Portsmouth provided a fitting backdrop for such an extraordinary event. The pride and admiration felt by all who witnessed the launch is palpable in every brushstroke captured by Dixon's masterful hand.
