EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases "The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's New Iron Mail Steam-Ship Quito" a magnificent vessel that sailed the seas in the 19th century. Created by Edwin Weedon, this print captures the grandeur and innovation of maritime engineering during this era. With its sleek iron hull and towering masts, the Quito exudes power and elegance. The ship's design represents a significant advancement in steamship technology, reflecting the rapid progress made by companies like The Pacific Steam Navigation Company. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to February 1864 when it was first published in The Illustrated London News. This illustration served as a visual testament to human ingenuity and exploration at a time when global trade was expanding rapidly. The fine details captured by Weedon's skilled hand allow us to appreciate not only the physical beauty of the ship but also its symbolic significance. It reminds us of an era when ships like these connected distant lands, carrying mail, passengers, and dreams across vast oceans. Now preserved in a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving serves as a window into our maritime past—a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern seafaring adventures.
