EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Capture of the Mahonesa, October 13th 1796" takes us back in time to witness a historic naval achievement. Engraved by Thomas Sutherland for J. Jenkins Naval Achievements in 1816, this color engraving showcases the remarkable talent of artist Thomas Whitcombe. The image depicts a dramatic scene at sea, where an English ship triumphantly captures the Spanish vessel Mahonesa. The English flag proudly flies atop their mast as billowing smoke from cannon fire fills the air. The sails are taut with wind, propelling both ships forward amidst the chaos of battle. In this intense moment, we can almost feel the tension and hear the thunderous roar of cannons clashing against each other. The mastery of Sutherland's engraving technique brings every detail to life - from intricate rigging on both ships to waves crashing against their hulls. The seizure of Mahonesa symbolizes not only a victory for England but also highlights the bravery and skill exhibited by its sailors during this era. This historical event serves as a testament to the power and influence that naval forces held during times of conflict. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this print allows us to appreciate Whitcombe's artistry while immersing ourselves in an important chapter of maritime history.
