EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print captures the majestic RMS 'Briton', a twin screw steamship belonging to the Union Steam Ship Company, in all its glory. Painted by renowned artist William Lionel Wyllie, this piece showcases the intricate details of the vessel, from its impressive size of 10,248 tons to its elegant design.
The 'Briton' was a vital mode of transportation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, ferrying passengers across the seas with speed and efficiency. Its paddle wheel steamer design was a marvel of engineering at the time, symbolizing progress and innovation in maritime travel.
Wyllie's skillful hand brings out every nuance of color and form in this artwork, making it come alive on paper. The vibrant hues used in this chromolithograph add to the sense of movement and vitality that characterized these grand ships.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear the sounds of waves crashing against her hull and feel the gentle sway of the ocean beneath your feet. It is a testament to an era when steamships ruled the seas and connected people from distant lands.
This piece is not just a work of art; it is a window into history, capturing a moment in time when technology met beauty on the high seas.
