EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Rhone, One of the Vessels lost in the late Hurricane in the West Indies" takes us back to a tragic event that unfolded in the 19th century. The image depicts a scene of maritime devastation caused by a powerful hurricane that swept through the West Indies. In this artwork by English School, we witness the aftermath of destruction as ships lay scattered and broken amidst turbulent waters. The focal point is on "The Rhone" one of these ill-fated vessels lost during this catastrophic natural disaster. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and despair felt by those who witnessed such an event firsthand. The dark clouds looming overhead mirror the somber mood while waves crash violently against what remains of these once majestic ships.
