This engraving titled "Old and New Gunnery and War Ships" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the evolution of naval warfare. The print showcases an array of historical elements, from HMS Trusty to Armstrong guns, highlighting the advancements in maritime weaponry during that era. The image captures a section of Shoeburyness, where experimental firing was conducted in January 1859. It vividly depicts soldiers from both the army and navy engaging in combat exercises with their respective armoured clothing and traditional armor. The mesh size of their protective gear is clearly visible, emphasizing the importance of defense during battle. Notably, this engraving also features female soldiers among its ranks - a testament to women's involvement in combat troops even during those times. The presence of conscripts alongside seasoned troops further emphasizes the significance placed on training new recruits for armed forces. The royal connection is evident as well, with references made to His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness attending these experiments. This highlights the interest shown by royalty towards military innovations and underscores their role in shaping naval strategies. Overall, this historic print provides viewers with a fascinating insight into naval gunnery practices from yesteryears while showcasing various aspects such as weaponry development, armor usage, soldier diversity, and royal involvement within military affairs.
