EDITORS COMMENTS
The King and Queen at Devonport, 8 March (engraving) captures a momentous occasion in British maritime history. The print depicts King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra attending the launch of HMS "Queen" at Devonport on 8 March 1902. This beautifully engraved image showcases the grandeur and ceremonial nature of ship launches during this era. In the engraving, we see Queen Alexandra gracefully christening the vessel while surrounded by dignitaries and naval officers. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, as it portrays every intricate aspect of the event with precision. The launch of HMS "Queen" was a significant event for both England and Great Britain as it symbolized their naval power and technological advancements. It marked an important milestone in shipbuilding during the late nineteenth century.
