EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Societys Medal, commemorating the tragic loss of the "Ocean Monarch" in 1848. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, captures the heart-wrenching scene with great detail and emotion. The image depicts a devastating conflagration engulfing the ill-fated ship as brave individuals strive to rescue those aboard. The reverse side of this prestigious medal is also showcased, highlighting its significance as an award for those who assisted during shipwrecks. The commemorative medal was designed by Mr. Wyon and holds immense historical value, serving as a testament to both human bravery and maritime disasters. It symbolizes Liverpool's commitment to ensuring safety at sea and honoring those who risked their lives to save others. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. Its inclusion in The Illustrated London News on October 28th, 1848 further solidifies its importance within contemporary society. As we gaze upon this poignant engraving, we are reminded of the fragility of life at sea and the heroic efforts made by individuals during times of crisis.
