EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous event in history - the Visit of the King of Portugal to the Channel Squadron off Lisbon. The artist, William Lionel Wyllie, skillfully brings to life this royal encounter that took place on March 13,1886. In this scene, we see an impressive display of maritime power as several majestic ships from the Channel Squadron line up in formation. Among them is the renowned Iron Duke and Agincourt, symbolizing strength and dominance on the seas. These vessels serve as a backdrop for an extraordinary meeting between two monarchs. The focus of attention is undoubtedly His Royal Highness, the King of Portugal himself. Dressed in regal attire and accompanied by his entourage, he stands tall on deck while being greeted with utmost respect by members of the squadron. This visit not only showcases diplomatic ties but also highlights Portugal's significance as a maritime nation. As we delve deeper into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident that this event was more than just a formal visit. It was an opportunity for cultural exchange and international diplomacy as represented by Her Royal Highness accompanying her husband during this significant occasion. Through Wyllie's intricate engravings and Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation, viewers are transported back in time to witness this remarkable encounter between royalty and naval might against the picturesque backdrop of Lisbon's harbor.
