EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the "Capture of the Maria Riggersbergen on October 18th, 1806". Engraved by J. Bailey for The Naval Chronology of Great Britain by J. Ralfe and published in 1820, this colored engraving showcases a significant event in naval history. The scene depicts the intense encounter between the Dutch ship Maria Riggersbergen and HMS Caroline off Macassar in the East Indies. The powerful British warship is seen overpowering its adversary with precision and might. This historical event marked a triumph for the English fleet as they successfully captured an enemy vessel. Thomas Whitcombe, a renowned artist from England, masterfully brings this pivotal moment to life through his skilled engravings. His attention to detail and use of color adds depth and realism to this remarkable artwork. Now preserved in a private collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an era when naval battles were fought with bravery and strategic prowess. It serves as a testament to the power and dominance of British maritime forces during that time. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of both the historical significance and artistic beauty that can be found within fine art prints like these.
