EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque Lorient Port in Brittany, France, during the chilly month of February in 1690. The foreground is dominated by the majestic ships belonging to Nesmonds Division, proudly anchored in front of the Company Enclosure. Behind them lies the enchanting city of Port Louis and a squadron nestled within the tranquil harbor of Groix Island. The image exudes a sense of history and adventure, evoking memories from Sottas' renowned work "Histoire De La Compagnie Royale Des Indes Orientales" (1664 - 1719). It takes us on a visual journey through time, offering glimpses into an era when French fleets sailed these very waters with purpose and determination. Ken Welsh's expertly captured photograph showcases not only the grandeur of naval power but also highlights the natural beauty that surrounds this bustling port. The composition allows our eyes to wander from ship to ship, absorbing every detail with awe and admiration. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. We can almost hear the sounds of sailors preparing for their next voyage or catch a whiff of saltwater mingled with anticipation. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring allure—a true masterpiece that will captivate any admirer of maritime history.
