EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Edwin Weedon that captures a momentous maritime scene. The image showcases the grandeur and power of two magnificent ships as they navigate through the iconic River Mersey. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly The George Griswold, an imposing vessel being towed by another ship called Resolute. As they make their way into the Mersey, one cannot help but be awestruck by their sheer size and elegance against the backdrop of a cloudy sky. In perfect harmony with this majestic display is Rock Fort standing tall on its shore. This fortified structure pays homage to these remarkable ships by saluting them with cannons firing in celebration. As if choreographed, The George Griswold reciprocates this gesture by gracefully dipping its ensign in response. Edwin Weedon's attention to detail brings life to every element within this engraving – from meticulously depicting each ship's intricate design to capturing the subtle ripples created by their movement on water. It is evident that he sought to convey not only an awe-inspiring sight but also a sense of pride and admiration for these vessels' significance in maritime history. This print serves as a testament to both Weedon's artistic prowess and his ability to immortalize significant moments in time. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these ships but also their historical
