EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the moment of surrender during the Battle of Camperdown, fought on October 11, 1797, off the coast of North Holland. In the foreground, Admiral Jan Willem de Winter of the Dutch fleet, dressed in his ornate uniform, stands resolute yet defeated, as he hands over his sword to his British counterpart, Admiral Sir Adam Duncan. The battle, a significant victory for the British Navy during the late 18th century, marked the end of Dutch naval power and the beginning of the decline of the Dutch Republic. The scene unfolds on the deck of a British ship, with sailors in the background attending to their duties. The intricate details of the uniforms, the expressions on the faces of the officers, and the tension in the air all contribute to the sense of history and drama in this powerful print. This image, created by the renowned engraver TERRY PARKER, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.
