EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coloured lithograph of The 'Great Harry' by William Frederick Mitchell captures the grandeur and power of one of the first ships of war to carry guns that fired through ports along her sides. Built in 1514 at Woolwich, this majestic vessel, also known as the 'Henri Grace a Dieu', played a significant role in naval history before tragically being burnt in 1553.
The intricate details and vibrant colors in this print bring to life the era of the sixteenth century when England's maritime prowess was on full display. The Great Harry's first master, Sir Thomas Spert, who held the title of Master of Trinity House, navigated her through treacherous waters with skill and courage.
As you gaze upon this historical artwork, you can almost hear the roar of cannons and feel the salty sea breeze on your face. The coast scene depicted in this lithograph transports you back in time to an age when naval warfare was at its peak.
Let this print serve as a reminder of England's rich maritime heritage and pay homage to those who sailed aboard The 'Great Harry' with bravery and determination.
