EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the dramatic scene of HMS Cadmus Ashore on Salcombe Bar, Devon. The print, part of a private collection, transports us back to a time when maritime adventures and naval battles were at their peak. The image captures the sheer power and force of nature as it overwhelms this majestic ship. Stranded on Salcombe Bar, HMS Cadmus stands tall amidst crashing waves and treacherous rocks. It is a testament to both the bravery of its crew and the unforgiving nature of the sea. The historical significance of this moment is not lost in this engraving. Published in The Illustrated London News in June 1869, it serves as a visual record for future generations to understand the challenges faced by those who served in the Royal Navy during that era. Beyond its artistic value, this print also offers insights into military history. With troops visible on board and ashore, it highlights how armed forces played an integral role in protecting their nations' interests at sea. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of both human resilience and our vulnerability against natural forces. This engraving invites us to reflect on our connection with history while appreciating the sacrifices made by those who have served in defense of their countries throughout time.
