EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Loss of 'The Avenger'", takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a gripping tale of maritime disaster. The engraving, created by an English School artist and part of a private collection, was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 15,1848.
