EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Waterspout seen off Worthing on Sunday, 21 August" transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into a dramatic coastal phenomenon. The image captures the sheer power and beauty of nature as it showcases a rare waterspout swirling above the Sussex coast. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing this maritime spectacle to life. The dark clouds looming overhead create an ominous atmosphere, contrasting with the calm sea below. The waterspout itself appears like a twisting column connecting heaven and earth, its immense size dominating the skyline. One can almost feel the tension in the air as spectators gaze upon this extraordinary sight from their vantage point onshore. It is easy to imagine their awe and wonderment at witnessing such an incredible natural occurrence. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on September 3rd, 1864, allowing readers across England to marvel at this breathtaking event. Now preserved within a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we admire this print today, let us reflect on both the fragility of our coastal landscapes and the enduring power of nature's forces. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern world, there are still moments when Mother Nature reminds us of her might and leaves us in awe of her wonders.
