EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "HMS 'Leander' running down a Sun-Fish off the Japanese Coast" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into an exhilarating moment at sea. The print showcases the power and might of HMS Leander, a vessel belonging to the Royal Navy. In this scene, we witness the sheer excitement on board as men gather on the forecastle, eagerly awaiting their next move. A sun-fish has been spotted in these waters near the Japanese coast, creating a buzz of anticipation among both naval officers and enlisted troops. The artist skillfully captures this thrilling encounter between man and nature. As HMS Leander charges forward with its impressive horse power, it is determined to catch up with this magnificent creature swimming alongside them. The image portrays not only the bravery of those aboard but also highlights their respect for wildlife. Meanwhile, Japanese fishermen observe from afar as they witness this extraordinary spectacle unfold before their eyes. It is evident that such encounters are rare in these waters, adding to the allure of this particular event. This engraving serves as a reminder of both our fascination with marine life and our admiration for those who serve in armed forces around the world. Through artistry and historical context combined, we can appreciate moments like these that have shaped maritime history forever.
