EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Fire-Ship at Work" transports us back to the dramatic events of the 16th century. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment during the Spanish Armada conflict. The image showcases a fire-ship, a vessel intentionally set ablaze and sent towards enemy ships as a devastating weapon. The scene is filled with tension and chaos as flames engulf the ship, billowing smoke filling the sky. The fiery glow illuminates the surrounding waters, creating an eerie yet awe-inspiring spectacle. The skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this historical depiction. This particular print was featured in Clara L Mateaux's book "Around and About Old England" published by Cassell around 1880. Its inclusion in this publication speaks to its significance as both an artistic representation and historical documentation. Digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, this image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this powerful moment in naval warfare history. It serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and determination when faced with adversity. Bridgeman Images presents us with another remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection – offering art enthusiasts worldwide access to extraordinary works that capture significant moments throughout history without compromising their commercial use restrictions
