The Channel Squadron at Anchor off the Forth Bridge, 2 September
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithographic print by William Heysham Overend that transports us back to a significant moment in naval history. This stunning artwork captures the grandeur and power of the British Royal Navy as it anchors off the iconic Forth Bridge on a crisp September day in 1895. The composition showcases an impressive display of maritime might, with majestic ships such as the Empress of India, Royal Sovereign, Repulse, Resolution, Blenheim, and Endymion proudly lining up in formation. The sight is truly awe-inspiring and highlights the strength and dominance of Britain's naval forces during this era. This scene not only celebrates the prowess of these magnificent vessels but also symbolizes national pride and unity. The presence of troops from both the navy and army further emphasizes their commitment to protecting their homeland. Overend's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from billowing sails to intricate rigging - creating a sense of movement within this static image. The engraving technique employed adds depth and texture to each ship while capturing even the smallest nuances. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment when military might converged with engineering marvels against Scotland's picturesque backdrop. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage while evoking feelings of admiration for those who served in our armed forces throughout history.
