EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Royal flagship of the English fleet, proudly hoisting the Royal Standard. The hand-coloured engraving, created by Pierre Mortier in the late 17th to early 18th century, is a remarkable piece from Le Neptune Francois. Commissioned by William of Orange (William III of Holland and I of Britain), this maritime atlas served as a strategic tool for planning wars with France. It was an invaluable resource that aided in mapping out naval routes and military strategies during turbulent times. The warship depicted in this print exudes power and grandeur. With its towering masts and billowing sails, it epitomizes the strength and might of British naval forces during this era. The meticulously detailed flags fluttering in the wind add a touch of regality to an already impressive sight. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when galleons ruled the seas and battles were fought on vast expanses of water. This engraving serves as a testament to both the artistry involved in capturing such scenes and the importance placed on naval dominance during those tumultuous years. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this French artwork has been preserved throughout centuries for us to admire today. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also as a window into our rich maritime history - reminding us of past triumphs, struggles, and ultimately shaping our present-day world.
