EDITORS COMMENTS
The 'Henri Grace a Dieu' or 'Great Harry' was a formidable ship of war that revolutionized naval warfare in the 16th century. This stunning engraving by John White captures the grandeur and power of this historic vessel, which was one of the first to carry guns that fired through ports along her sides.
Built at Woolwich in 1514, the 'Great Harry' was under the command of Sir Thomas Spert, who also held the prestigious title of Master of Trinity House. Unfortunately, her illustrious career came to an abrupt end when she was accidentally burnt in 1553.
This detailed print showcases every intricate detail of the ship, from its towering masts to its sleek hull cutting through the water. The black and white imagery adds a sense of drama and nostalgia to this iconic piece of maritime history.
As you gaze upon this engraving, you can almost hear the creaking timbers and feel the salty spray on your face as you imagine yourself sailing alongside this legendary warship. The 'Henri Grace a Dieu' may be gone, but her legacy lives on in this timeless work of art.
