EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fregat Pollux bij het wachtschip in de Schelde, 1784" takes us back to a significant moment in Dutch maritime history. Captured by an anonymous artist in the year 1784, this image showcases the majestic Frigate Pollux anchored near a waiting ship on the scenic Scheldt River landscape. The frigate stands tall and proud, its silhouette beautifully contrasting against the backdrop of wind-swept waters. The vessel's propulsion system relies on the power of wind, symbolizing both innovation and tradition in naval transportation during that era. On October 8th, 1784, an incident occurred involving this very ship. As depicted in this print, it was ascended upon by an imperial brig named Louis with permission from higher command. This event is shown through allegorical vignettes painted around the main scene - legends and French titles dedicated to political figures can be observed. A charming touch is added to this historical piece with a putto painting adorning one corner of the print. It serves as a pendant to enhance its overall aesthetic appeal. Quint Lox has expertly captured not just a moment frozen in time but also the essence of Dutch maritime heritage within this photograph. With every detail meticulously preserved and presented for our admiration, we are transported back to witness firsthand these remarkable events that shaped our nautical past.
