EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning graphite print of HMS 'Queen Charlotte' captures the intricate details of the ship's stern in Portsmouth, 1824. The artist, John Christian Schetky, skillfully portrays the grandeur and power of this majestic vessel with precision and accuracy.
The drawing is inscribed with specific details such as the number of guns (110) on board, the location (Portsmouth), and the date (Sept - 24-1824). It also notes that the ship was canted while being sketched, resulting in some inaccuracies in perspective – a testament to the challenges faced by artists capturing these impressive naval vessels.
As you gaze upon this historical artwork, you can almost hear the sounds of sailors bustling about on deck and feel the salty sea breeze against your skin. The 'Queen Charlotte' stands as a symbol of British naval strength during a time when maritime supremacy was crucial for global power.
This piece from the National Maritime Museum in London transports you back to a bygone era when ships like these ruled the seas. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and honors those who sailed aboard these magnificent vessels. Truly a masterpiece worth admiring for generations to come.
