EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aquatint and etching print captures the majestic launch of The Honourable East India Company's Ship 'Edinburgh' from the dock yard of Messrs Wigrams & Green Blackwall in 1827. The intricate details of the ship, with its sails billowing in the wind, evoke a sense of awe at the craftsmanship and engineering that went into creating such a vessel.
In the background, we see another ship, 'Abercrombie Robinson,' still on the stocks, waiting to take its turn for launch. The bustling activity of the dockyard workers adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene, as they prepare for this momentous occasion.
The artist has skillfully captured not just a historical event but also a snapshot of maritime history in all its glory. From the rigging on deck to the buildings lining the harbor, every detail is meticulously rendered with precision and care.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when ships like these ruled the seas and played a crucial role in global trade and exploration. It serves as a reminder of our shared maritime heritage and reminds us of how far we have come since those early days of seafaring adventure.
