EDITORS COMMENTS
In Quarantine (engraving) captures a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the maritime history of the 19th century. This print, created by an English School artist, takes us to the island of St Vincent where ships and boats find themselves in quarantine. The scene is filled with bustling activity as various vessels navigate through the waters. A large ship stands tall at the center, its sails billowing against the wind. Surrounding it are smaller boats and tugboats, diligently assisting in transportation and ensuring smooth operations during this period of isolation. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke on paper brings life to this historical snapshot. The sketch-like quality adds a sense of immediacy and rawness to the engraving, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this intriguing world. In Quarantine not only showcases maritime elements but also serves as a visual documentation of an important practice during that era. It reminds us of how communities dealt with infectious diseases by imposing strict measures such as quarantine for incoming vessels. This particular print was originally featured in The Graphic on November 8th, 1873 - a testament to its significance even then. Now part of a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving continues to captivate audiences with its historical charm.
