EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable journey of Captain Boyton as he bravely crossed the treacherous English Channel in the 19th century. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases various moments from this daring expedition. The image begins with a scene of anticipation and preparation, as Captain Boyton takes a moment to rest before embarking on his incredible feat. Next, we see him checking his temperature, ensuring that he is physically ready for the arduous challenge ahead. As he makes his way towards the pier, determination radiates from Captain Boyton's face. With a final wave goodbye, he sets off into the vast expanse of the sea. Along his journey, we witness him taking another temperature reading while enjoying a well-deserved breakfast amidst unpredictable waves. Finally arriving at Boulogne in France, our intrepid explorer receives an international rub down – perhaps to soothe tired muscles or celebrate his triumphant achievement. At Hotel Christol in Boulogne, Captain Boyton encounters enthusiastic crowds eager to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary man who conquered nature's formidable barrier. This engraving not only immortalizes Captain Boyton's courageous endeavor but also provides us with glimpses into life during that era – showcasing boats and interiors typical of transportation methods used at that time. It serves as a testament to human endurance and reminds us of our capacity for greatness even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
