EDITORS COMMENTS
Admirals All, illustration from Drakes Drum and Other Songs of the Sea 1905 captures a moment of intense naval battle. In this vibrant colour lithograph by Arthur David McCormick (1860-1943), we are transported to a historic scene featuring Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805). The image depicts an officer on board a battleship, gripping his telescope as gun smoke engulfs the air. As he claps the glass to his sightless eye, frustration fills his voice - 'And I'm damned if I see it, ' he said. This powerful illustration is part of Henry Newbolt's (1862-1938) collection that celebrates the bravery and heroism of seafarers. With meticulous attention to detail, McCormick skillfully brings this historical moment to life, capturing not only the chaos and intensity of battle but also highlighting the intricate rigging and cannonry aboard the ship. The Admirals All print serves as a reminder of Nelson's significant contributions in naval warfare during his time. It encapsulates both the danger faced by officers like him and their unwavering determination in protecting their crew and country. As part of Historica Graphica Collection, this artwork showcases its commitment to preserving historical moments through visual storytelling. This piece is sure to captivate any history enthusiast or admirer of maritime adventures.
