EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meticulously crafted builders model of the Japanese battleship "Hatsuse" dating back to the late 19th century. Measuring an impressive 132x64x281 cm, this mixed media masterpiece is currently housed at the Discovery Museum in Tyne & Wear, UK. The "Hatsuse" belonged to the Shikishima-class pre-dreadnought battleships and was expertly constructed by Armstrong Whitworth, a renowned British firm. Serving as a symbol of naval power for the Imperial Japanese Navy during the late 1890s, this majestic warship unfortunately met its tragic fate when it sank in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War. This extraordinary builders model offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era shipbuilding and maritime engineering techniques. The attention to detail is remarkable, with intricately designed funnels and miniature troops adorning its decks. It serves as a testament to both Japanese and British craftsmanship. As we admire this stunning piece of history, let us not forget that behind every great warship lies an army of dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to ensure their construction. This builders model pays homage to all those involved in creating these magnificent vessels that played vital roles in shaping world events. Through this photograph print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time and reminded of the significant contributions made by both Japan's armed forces and Britain's engineering prowess.
