EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Ferdinand Max ramming the Re d Italia, Battle of Lissa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a dramatic scene from the 19th-century Battle of Lissa, where two powerful warships clash amidst the chaos of warfare. In this intense encounter, we witness the mighty Ferdinand Max ship forcefully ramming into its adversary, the Re d Italia. The collision is depicted with remarkable detail and precision by the American School artist who created this engraving. The artwork was originally featured as an illustration for Moses Coit Tyler's Library of Universal History and has been digitally cleaned to enhance its visual impact. This print now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. The Battle of Lissa itself was fought between Austria and Italy on July 20,1866, during the Austro-Prussian War. It marked one of history's last major naval battles involving wooden sailing ships. This particular moment captured in the engraving showcases both bravery and destruction as these colossal vessels collide head-on. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit for power and dominance throughout history. It serves as a testament to our ability to capture pivotal moments through artistry while preserving tales that shape our understanding of past conflicts.
