EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, titled 'The Persian Expedition - Island of Kishni, Harbour of Bunder Abbas, Fleet at Anchor, Persian Coast, 1857', is an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the British naval fleet at anchor in the harbor of Bunder Abbas during the Anglo-Persian War. The image, created by an unknown officer, was sketched while the Semiramis was entering the harbor. The harbor was bustling with about thirty ships, including transports, before they set sail for their destination - Bushire. Two of the most prominent vessels in the scene are the Honourable East India Company (HEIC) steam-frigates Feroze and Ajdha, both with their steam up. The tranquil waters of the Persian Gulf are dotted with boats and other naval vessels, adding to the panoramic view. This engraving was published in the Illustrated London News in 1857, providing a visual record of the events that transpired during the attack and capture of Bushire. The Anglo-Persian War was a significant naval conflict between Britain and Persia, marking a turning point in the British Empire's expansion in the Middle East. This striking image offers a unique perspective on the naval warfare of the nineteenth century and the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf in world trade and transportation.
