EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coloured aquatint print depicts 'The Great Harry', the first ship of war that carried guns, built at Woolwich in the reign of Henry VIII in 1514. The intricate details captured by the artist, Robert Cruikshank, after Hans Holbein, showcase the grandeur and power of this historic vessel.
'The Great Harry' was a symbol of England's naval strength during the 16th century, with its impressive size and firepower making it a formidable force on the seas. However, tragedy struck in 1553 when the ship accidentally burned down, marking an end to its illustrious career.
The vibrant colors used in this print bring to life the majesty of 'The Great Harry', from its towering masts to its billowing sails adorned with flags representing Britain's maritime prowess. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork, transporting viewers back in time to an era of exploration and conquest.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this piece serves as a reminder of England's rich naval history and the important role ships like 'The Great Harry' played in shaping world events. It stands as a tribute to those who sailed aboard her and defended their nation with courage and honor.
