EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent "Merchantman under Full Sail" engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for John Ogilvie's renowned work, The Imperial Dictionary. Edited by Charles Annandale, this new edition from Blackie in 1898 immortalized the grandeur of merchant ships during that era. The image captures the essence of maritime history with its depiction of a majestic ship gracefully navigating through open waters. With every sail unfurled to catch the wind, this merchantman proudly displays its full array of sails - studding sails, flying jib, royal staysail - all contributing to its impressive speed and efficiency in trade. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, each detail comes alive; from the towering masts adorned with topgallants and topmasts to the intricate rigging that supports them. The main course sail billows out majestically while smaller sails such as spankers and drivers add balance and control to this mighty vessel. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when these merchantmen ruled the seas. This print serves as a testament to their significance in global commerce and reminds us of their crucial role in shaping our world's history.
