EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history as the Sheerness Royal Dockyard Brigade launches an audacious attack on Queenborough. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the sheer intensity and bravery of these naval manoeuvres. The scene is filled with action and drama, depicting warships sailing towards their target with determination. The dark clouds overhead add to the sense of impending conflict, while waves crash against the ships' hulls, symbolizing both the power of nature and man's indomitable spirit. Queenborough stands defiantly amidst billowing smoke and chaos as cannon fire illuminates the night sky. This historic event was immortalized through this illustration for The Illustrated London News on August 14th, 1852 - a testament to its significance at that time. The print offers viewers a glimpse into a tumultuous period when maritime supremacy was fiercely contested. It serves as a reminder of the courage displayed by those who defended their nation's interests at sea.
