EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Awful Conflagration of the Steam Boat Lexington in Long Island Sound on Monday Eve, January 13th, 1840" takes us back to a tragic event that unfolded in the 19th century. The lithographer Nathaniel Currier and artist William K. Hewitt skillfully captured the devastating scene with their intricate drawings and prints. The image portrays a steamboat engulfed in flames, billowing thick smoke into the night sky. This melancholic occurrence resulted in the heartbreaking loss of over 100 lives. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the fragility of life and how swiftly tragedy can strike. Currier's meticulous attention to detail brings forth an eerie realism, while Hewitt's artistic touch adds depth and emotion to every stroke. Together, they convey not only the physical destruction but also evoke a sense of sorrow and mourning for those who perished. Published by The Sun newspaper, this print serves as a historical record of one of America's most devastating maritime disasters. It stands as a testament to both Currier's talent as a lithographer and Hewitt's ability to capture human emotions through art. As we contemplate this artwork from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, let us remember those who lost their lives on that fateful evening in January 1840 and appreciate the power that art holds in preserving history for generations to come.
