EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Crossing the Atlantic" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of heavy weather in the engine room of a ship. The illustration was originally created as an accompaniment for The Cottager and Artisan in 1896, published by the Religious Tract Society. The image showcases the harsh reality faced by sailors and seamen during their treacherous journey across the Atlantic Ocean. As stormy waves crash against the vessel, mariners are seen battling against nature's fury. Their faces reflect determination and resilience amidst challenging conditions. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical struggle but also highlights meteorology as an integral part of maritime life. This engraving serves as a testament to how weather patterns greatly impact ships' journeys, emphasizing both science and artistry within its composition. The intricate details depict various types of ships present on this voyage - from freight ships to tanker ships, boats, and even tugboats that assist with transportation. These vessels symbolize different means of transport available during that era. As we gaze upon this historical print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial chapter in maritime history. It reminds us of humanity's enduring spirit when faced with adversity while crossing vast oceans towards unknown horizons.
