EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "HM Divisional Ships of the Gun-Boat Flotilla, at Moorings off Ryde" takes us back to a significant moment in maritime history. Created by Edwin Weedon in 1856, this print showcases the impressive fleet of gun-boats anchored near Ryde. The illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News and provides a glimpse into the naval prowess of the Royal Navy during that era. Despite some damage to the original item, its historical value remains intact. As we examine this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the meticulously detailed ships floating on calm waters. Divided into different divisions - light division, white division, blue division, and red division - these vessels represent both power and unity within the armed forces. Amongst them stand notable figures such as Captain Key, Captain Codrington, and Captain Yelverton. Each captain commands their respective ship with precision and skill. The presence of troops on board highlights not only the navy's role but also its collaboration with other branches of the armed forces. This image serves as a reminder of how crucial teamwork is for success in military operations. With its rich colors and intricate depiction of naval might, this engraving transports us back in time to an era when maritime dominance played a vital role in global affairs. It stands as a testament to both British naval heritage and artistic craftsmanship captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection
