EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "HM New Floating Battery, 'Thunder'" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a maritime scene of power and grandeur. The print showcases the impressive vessel known as HM New Floating Battery, which was featured in The Illustrated London News on May 19,1855. The image transports us to a time when naval warfare reigned supreme. The majestic ship dominates the frame with its towering masts and billowing sails. Its name, Thunder, evokes a sense of awe and fearlessness that befits such an imposing vessel. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the salty sea breeze against our faces. It serves as a reminder of the might and importance of Britain's Royal Navy during this era. Intriguingly, scattered around Thunder are troops from both the army and navy; their presence emphasizes the collaborative effort required for successful military operations at sea. This engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes unity among armed forces serving under Her Majesty's reign. Preserved within private collections today, this print is more than just an artistic representation—it is a historical artifact that allows us to glimpse into Britain's rich maritime heritage.
