EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a poignant memorial to Mr L G E Childers, who tragically lost his life on board the HMS "Captain". The engraving, created by an anonymous 19th-century English artist, captures the somber atmosphere surrounding this naval tragedy. The Memorial to Mr L G E Childers is a powerful testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those serving in the Royal Navy. It serves as a reminder of the risks faced by sailors during their service and pays tribute to one individual's untimely demise. The image was originally published in The Graphic on June 8,1872, adding further historical significance to its portrayal. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it allows us to reflect on not only Mr Childers' personal story but also the broader context of armed forces and royalty during that era. Mr Leonard George Eardley Childers was just eighteen years old when he perished aboard the ill-fated HMS "Captain" on September 7,1870. As a midshipman in the Royal Navy, his loss deeply affected both his comrades and loved ones alike. Through this evocative engraving captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to honor Mr L G E Childers' memory alongside countless others who have made similar sacrifices for their country.
