EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in naval history - the training of engineering officers at the Royal Naval Engineering College in Keyham, Devonport, UK during the 19th century. Established in 1880, this institution played a crucial role in preparing British Royal Navy crews and engineers for the technological advancements of their time. As depicted in this artwork from La Science Illustree, young male pupils can be seen diligently studying and honing their skills within a workshop setting. The late-Victorian era marked an era of immense change as ships transitioned from sail to steam power. To maintain its dominance as a maritime and imperial power, Britain invested heavily in training its personnel with the latest technologies. The image showcases not only the dedication of these aspiring engineers but also highlights the importance placed on education during this period. With workbenches filled with equipment and tools, these students immersed themselves in learning about naval engineering principles that would shape future advancements. Although no longer located here since 1938, this historic site remains an emblematic symbol of Britain's commitment to excellence and innovation within its navy. This print serves as a reminder of how education has always been at the forefront of progress and development within military institutions like the Royal Naval Engineering College.
