EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when Sir F. T Duckworth and his squadron bravely navigate through the treacherous narrow channel of Dardanelles. The year is 1807, and tensions are high as they face off against Turkish fortresses guarding this strategic passage. The image showcases a fleet of majestic ships sailing amidst billowing smoke, a testament to the fierce battle that rages on. Each vessel exudes strength and determination as they push forward in unison, their sails filled with wind from the Aegean Sea. In the foreground, we see cannons firing relentlessly towards enemy forts, creating explosions that light up the sky. The sheer power of these weapons is evident in their ability to breach stone walls and challenge any opposition. As our eyes wander across this colored engraving by T. Sutherland for "The Naval Chronology of Great Britain" we can't help but marvel at Thomas Whitcombe's skillful depiction of this historic event. Every detail has been meticulously captured - from the intricate rigging on each ship to the architectural grandeur of Turkish fortresses lining both sides of the strait. This print not only immortalizes an important naval triumph but also serves as a reminder of courage and resilience in times of conflict. It stands as a tribute to those who fought valiantly under Sir F. T Duckworth's command, forever etched into history through Bridgeman Images' remarkable collection.
