EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Combined Fleet in China, Transports in Cowloong Bay preparing to get under way for the North" takes us back to a significant moment in maritime history. Created by Edwin Weedon in 1860, this print showcases the bustling scene of ships and preparations taking place in Cowloong Bay. As we gaze at the image, we are transported to a time when China was experiencing great changes and foreign powers were asserting their influence. The fleet depicted here represents a combined force from various nations readying themselves for an expedition northwards. The attention to detail is remarkable; each ship meticulously engraved with its unique features. The composition captures the energy and anticipation as sailors scramble about on deck while others load supplies onto these mighty vessels. The bay itself is teeming with activity, reflecting Hong Kong's strategic importance as a hub of trade and military operations during this period. Weedon's work not only provides us with a glimpse into historical events but also serves as a testament to the artistry of engravings during that era. This particular piece was originally published in The Illustrated London News, further emphasizing its significance as an informative source for readers hungry for news from distant lands. "The Combined Fleet in China" transports us back through time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind it and the historical context it encapsulates.
