EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1885, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event - the demonstration of Torsten Nordenfeldt's groundbreaking steam-powered submarine. The scene unfolds as the Prince of Wales and the Danish royal family eagerly gather around, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. The image showcases not only the remarkable invention itself but also the individuals who played pivotal roles in its creation. Positioned at key points within the frame, we see three significant figures: Torsten Nordenfeldt himself (numbered 3), Captain Garret (numbered 4), and an unidentified person explaining intricate details about this revolutionary vessel (numbered 5). Their presence adds depth to our understanding of this historical moment. The wood engraving technique used for this print lends a sense of authenticity and nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to a time when steam power was still relatively new and unexplored. It serves as a reminder that progress is built upon visionary minds pushing boundaries. This photograph captures not just a naval demonstration but also symbolizes human ingenuity, innovation, and ambition. It reminds us that throughout history, mankind has constantly strived for advancement in various fields such as shipping or warfare. This particular image immortalizes one such milestone achievement - Torsten Nordenfeldt's steam-powered submarine - forever etched into our collective memory through Universal Images Group's archival preservation efforts.
