EDITORS COMMENTS
Our National Defences (litho) is a captivating print that offers a unique glimpse into the fortifications and strategic points of defense against invasion in 19th century England. This aerial view, created by an English School artist, showcases the intricate network of defenses across Great Britain and Wales. The lithograph, published as a supplement to The Graphic in August 1888, presents a detailed map-like illustration that highlights the fortified walls, ramparts, and even an alcazar. It provides viewers with an intriguing perspective on how our ancestors safeguarded their nation from potential threats. In this fascinating artwork, we can also observe various modes of transportation used during that era. From motor planes to airplanes and fighter aircrafts, it becomes evident that aviation played a significant role in national defense at the time. The print not only serves as historical documentation but also reflects the progress made in air vehicle technology during this period. As we delve into this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of Britain's rich cultural heritage and its position within Europe. Our National Defences encapsulates both British pride and European unity while offering us a visual journey through time.
