EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heroic act of Grace Darling and her father, William Darling, as they bravely save the shipwrecked crew of the SS Forfarshire on September 8th, 1838. The image depicts a stormy scene at sea, with powerful waves crashing against their small boat. Grace Darling's courage shines through as she fearlessly faces the danger alongside her father. Grace Darling's story is one of remarkable bravery and selflessness. As a local lighthouse keeper's daughter in Northumberland, England, she risked her life to rescue those in perilous situations at sea. Tragically, Grace passed away from tuberculosis at just 26 years old in 1842. The design featured in this print was created between 1857-1858 for the decoration of Wallington Hall's inner court.
