EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by William Heysham Overend, titled "Capture of a Devil-Fish, hoisting him overboard" transports us to the thrilling world of maritime adventures in the late 19th century. The scene depicted is one of both danger and triumph. In this dramatic illustration for The Illustrated London News, we witness a momentous event unfolding on the high seas. A group of brave sailors from the Royal Navy are engaged in an intense struggle with a formidable devil-fish. With their sheer strength and determination, they manage to capture the creature, which thrashes about in protest. The composition exudes energy and tension as we see the men working together to hoist their impressive catch overboard. The ship's deck is alive with activity as crew members scramble to secure ropes and maintain control amidst the chaos. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of the West Indies, this print not only showcases marine life but also highlights the bravery and skill required by those who served in naval combat units during that era. It serves as a testament to their dedication and resilience. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from our private collection, we are reminded of the rich heritage shared by navy personnel worldwide. This image invites us to appreciate their courage while offering an intriguing glimpse into an important chapter of maritime history.
