EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the launch of "The Ariel". Steamer at Rotherhithe in 1844. The image, created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, showcases a significant milestone in maritime history. "The Ariel". Steamer, depicted majestically on the water, symbolizes progress and innovation during this era. The ship's sleek design and towering smokestacks evoke a sense of power and modernity that was unparalleled at the time. Its presence commands attention as it prepares to embark on its maiden voyage. The scene is filled with anticipation as spectators gather along the riverbank to witness this groundbreaking event. Men in top hats line up along the pier while women clutch their parasols in excitement. Their faces reflect awe and wonderment as they watch history unfold before their eyes. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on April 20th, 1844, capturing a momentous occasion for both Londoners and maritime enthusiasts alike. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of exploration. Now preserved within a private collection, this print allows us to travel back in time and experience firsthand one of London's most remarkable ship launches.
