EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia in England. The image showcases the majestic Ingermanland, a 74-gun ship, with His Imperial Highness on board, saluting the Admiral at Plymouth in 1845. Accompanied by the Russian corvette Vaarshafsky, commanded by Captain Glassenap and mounting an impressive 30 guns, this grand naval procession is a sight to behold. The Ingermanland itself is an imposing vessel with its array of cannons and swivels. It is noteworthy that despite his royal status as the second son of the Emperor, Grand Duke Konstantin assumes only the honours of a lieutenant in the Imperial navy. Serving aboard the Ingermanland allows him to experience firsthand life within his chosen profession. The detailed engraving from Nicholas Matthews Condy provides us with a glimpse into this historic event. We can see how meticulously both ships are prepared for their encounter with British shores. This illustration was originally featured in "Illustrated London News" back in 1845. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry and historical documentation, we are transported back to a time when international relations were forged through grand gestures such as these naval visits. It serves as a reminder of our shared maritime heritage and highlights the significance placed on diplomacy during this era.
