EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection depicts a historic event on the rugged east coast of Newfoundland. The scene showcases "The Wreck of the Hanoverian at Portugal Cove, Trepassey Bay" an incident that unfolded in 1885. In this illustrative technique, we are transported back to witness the chaos and heroism surrounding this maritime disaster. On the left side of the print, we see Professor Bell valiantly attempting to pacify distressed passengers amidst the wreckage. His calm demeanor and reassuring presence offer solace in a time of great turmoil. Meanwhile, on the right side, brave blue-jackets can be seen saving women and children from perilous waters. Their selfless acts exemplify courage and compassion as they navigate treacherous conditions to ensure lives are spared. Newfoundland's position as an island off Canada's North American mainland made it susceptible to shipwrecks along its populous coastline during this era. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of both tragedy and resilience in Canadian history. The artistic style employed here is quintessentially Victorian, evoking nostalgia for bygone times with its retro charm. The intricate details captured through engravement transport us into this historical moment while showcasing nineteenth-century arts and culture. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Arkheia's collection, we are reminded not only of our past but also how far we have come in terms of safety measures at sea. It stands as a testament to human strength
