EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The watcher watched, Naval Manoeuvres off Canea" we are transported back to the late 19th century. The scene depicts a moment of intense anticipation and strategic planning during naval manoeuvres off the coast of Canea, Greece. The focal point of the print is a solitary figure perched atop a hill, diligently observing the unfolding events at sea. This vigilant watcher symbolizes the importance of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering in military operations. As he meticulously scans the horizon, his presence goes unnoticed by those aboard the ships below. The composition beautifully captures an array of vessels engaged in these intricate manoeuvres. Tugboats glide alongside larger warships while smaller boats transport troops to their designated positions. The navy and army work in harmony as they prepare for potential conflicts that lie ahead. Created by Charles William Wyllie, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on February 27th, 1897. Through his skilled engraving techniques, Wyllie brings life to this historical moment with remarkable detail and precision. This print serves as a testament to the dedication and bravery exhibited by armed forces throughout history. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there are always unseen eyes watching over us - ensuring our safety and security from afar.
