EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the majestic HMS "Bellerophon" in all its glory. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, is part of a private collection and was originally published as one of a set of cigarette cards on Ships Figureheads by John Player & Sons. The intricate carving of the ship's figurehead takes center stage, depicting the head of Billy Ruffn, a renowned character from British naval history. This impressive line-up of battle-hardened figureheads pays homage to the glorious 1st Battle of June 1815, where HMS "Bellerophon" played a significant role. With its rich historical context, this print transports us back to pivotal moments in naval warfare. From Nelson's triumph at Trafalgar in 1805 to his earlier victories at Nile (1798) and St Helena (1794), these battles shaped maritime history forever. The confrontation between Napoleon Bonaparte and Britain during these turbulent times is vividly captured through this stunning artwork. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such detailed carvings but also the bravery and determination exhibited by those who sailed aboard HMS "Bellerophon". This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to our enduring fascination with naval heritage.
