EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Lord Howe's Victory on 1st June 1794. Engraved by Thomas Sutherland for J. Jenkinss Naval Achievements in 1816, this color engraving by Thomas Whitcombe showcases the remarkable talent and attention to detail that brings this significant event to life. Admiral Howe, a prominent figure in British naval history, assumed command of the Channel Fleet during the French Revolutionary War. The Battle of the Glorious First of June unfolded off Ushant, where Admiral Howe led his fleet to a resounding victory against the French forces. This decisive battle saw English forces capture one-third of the French ships, marking a turning point in the conflict. The image depicts an intense scene as warships clash amidst turbulent waters near Isle Douessant (also known as Isle d'Ouessant). The artist masterfully portrays both sides engaged in fierce combat with meticulous accuracy and vivid colors. Every detail is meticulously captured - from billowing sails and cannon fire to sinking vessels - evoking a sense of drama and chaos on this historic day. This print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is part of an invaluable private collection. Its historical significance cannot be overstated, offering viewers a glimpse into one of Britain's most celebrated naval victories. With its impeccable craftsmanship and rich narrative, this artwork serves as a testament to Lord Howe's strategic brilliance and England's triumph at sea during this pivotal period in history.
