EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense bombardment of St Jean D Acre by the British and Allied Squadrons during a historic moment in naval warfare. The artist, Charles Edward Dixon, skillfully depicts the chaos and power of this event through his vibrant color lithography. The focal point of the image is a magnificent battleship named "Powerful" launched from Chatham in 1826. With its impressive tonnage of 2,296 tons and heaviest gun weighing 32 Pdr, it symbolizes the sheer might of the British navy. This illustration was originally featured in Britannias Bulwarks around 1920, showcasing Britain's naval prowess. The scene showcases a dramatic bombing raid on St Jean D Acre, with explosions illuminating the night sky as ships unleash their firepower upon enemy targets. The relentless bombings are evident through the destruction caused to buildings and structures within St Jean D Acre. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Great Britain's role in defending Europe during times of conflict. It highlights not only their military strength but also their determination to protect their allies against common enemies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era where naval warfare reigned supreme.
