EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches at the Naval Review at Spithead" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Edward Atkins, this engraving captures the essence of a grand naval event that took place on July 2,1873. The image showcases an array of majestic ships passing through Spithead, with each vessel exuding its own unique charm and character. Among them are the royal yacht, Thunderer, Indian troop ships, Royal Sovereign, Duke of Wellington, Old Wooden Walls, Cyclops and many more. The maritime scene is alive with activity as these magnificent vessels participate in the Naval Review. One cannot help but be drawn to the central focus of this engraving - HM The Shah's board on Victoria's flagship Victory. As they bid farewell to their fellow sailors and troops from various armed forces including Army and Navy personnel alike; a parting salute fills the air. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; it beautifully captures both the power and grace of these historic ships while also showcasing the devastation left behind by war. From Crocodile to Hecate and Euphrates to Donegal – every ship tells its own story within this larger narrative. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of Britain's rich naval heritage but also of the unity between army troops and navy forces during times when royalty graced our shores.
