"The Portuguese Attack on the British at Beira, East Africa: One Minute after The Tamega Fired the First Shot; the Limpopo Full of Armed Men has been Run Up Alongside the Agnes, and is Threatening her with a Quick-Firing Shell-Gun on her Bow" - A Glimpse into History This 1891 engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history. Depicting an intense scene during the Portuguese attack on British forces at Beira, East Africa, it offers a glimpse into a dramatic event that unfolded over a century ago. The image showcases two powerful vessels locked in confrontation. The Tamega, having just fired its first shot, stands as an emblem of Portuguese aggression. Meanwhile, the Limpopo looms alongside the Agnes menacingly with its quick-firing shell-gun aimed directly at her bow. This illustrative technique transports us to Victorian times when engravings were highly valued for their ability to capture intricate details and convey historical events. The retro-styled vintage aesthetic adds further charm to this remarkable piece of art. As we delve into this engraved image's rich narrative, we are reminded of how conflicts have shaped our world throughout time. It serves as both a testament to human resilience and a reminder of past struggles that have ultimately paved the way for progress. In preserving moments like these through art and culture, we gain valuable insights into our collective history while appreciating the artistic mastery behind
