EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorised print showcases a woodcut of a majestic ship, believed to be The Ark Royal, dating back to the late 16th century. The image comes from an edition of The Connoisseur magazine published in London in 1933 and edited by F. Gordon Roe. This stunning piece of art transports us back in time, evoking the spirit of travel and adventure on the high seas. The ship's intricate rigging and towering mast dominate the scene, while its grandeur is accentuated by vibrant colors that bring life to this historic vessel. Against a backdrop of calm blue waters, one can almost feel the gentle sway as it sails through open horizons. As we gaze upon this remarkable woodcut, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with exploration and discovery. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding across geographical boundaries. This print not only captures a moment frozen in history but also represents an era when wooden ships ruled the oceans. It stands as an object bridging two centuries: the 16th-century origins depicted within its lines contrasted against its colorisation during the 20th century. Preserved for generations to come, this woodcut offers us a glimpse into our maritime past—a visual treasure that connects us with our seafaring ancestors who embarked on daring voyages into uncharted territories aboard vessels like The Ark Royal.
