EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the historic moment of Li Hung Chang's Inspection of the Fleet off Spithead. The image showcases the grandeur and power of the Royal Yacht "Alberta" as it gracefully passes along a line of majestic battleships. Created by renowned artist William Lionel Wyllie, this print beautifully depicts the maritime scene with intricate details and vibrant colors. Li Hung Chang, a prominent Chinese statesman, is seen aboard the Royal Yacht Alberta, symbolizing his significant role in international relations during that time. Surrounding him are torpedo boat destroyers, cruisers, and torpedo boats representing naval strength from different nations. The presence of Prince of Wales adds an air of royalty to this spectacle as he oversees the inspection alongside Li Hung Chang. The royal salute signifies respect and honor bestowed upon these influential figures. Spithead serves as a backdrop for this remarkable event, while Osborne stands proudly on land witnessing this display of naval might. The Chinese flag proudly waves amidst a sea of flags representing various countries' armed forces. This engraving not only celebrates military prowess but also highlights diplomacy and cooperation between nations. It serves as a reminder that even in times when conflicts arise at sea or on land, there can be moments where unity prevails for common goals. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this lithograph is truly a treasure within private collections worldwide.
