EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "The Naval Review: the Pivot-Ships 'Rodney' and 'London' - drawn by E. Weedon, 1856," offers a glimpse into the grand naval spectacle off the coast of Hampshire, England. The image, created by the skilled hand of artist Edwin Weedon, depicts a collection of ships of the Royal Navy participating in a naval review. The pivot-ships 'Rodney' and 'London,' each boasting an impressive 90 guns, are anchored prominently in the foreground. They were positioned about a mile to the east-northeast of the Nab light. Surrounding the pivot-ships, a flotilla of forty mortar-boats and floats adds to the scene's visual appeal. The sailing line-of-battle ships were a common sight during this era, serving as symbols of British maritime power. The ships' intricate rigging and decorative details are on full display, with bunting and international code of signals adorning their masts. This event was a significant royal occasion, as reported in the "Illustrated London News" in 1856. The ships, adorned with their finest decorations, were a testament to the grandeur and might of the British Navy. The print captures the essence of this historical moment, providing a window into the past and the rich maritime history of Britain.
