EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures the majestic Departure Of The Ocean French Fleet From Brest, France in 1854. The intricately detailed image showcases the impressive naval power of the time, with various ships and their respective horse powers depicted. The Hercule, a formidable vessel with 100 horse power, is seen being towed by Caffarelli's mighty 450 horse power. Meanwhile, Jean-bart and Austerlitz await their turn to be towed out later in the day by Primanguet. The fleet also includes notable ships such as Duguesclin, Rear-admiral Charner's flagship, which is being towed out by Primanguet with its 400 horse power. Montebello serves as Bruat's flagship with its commanding presence of 120 horse power. Borda stands tall as an old midshipmen schoolship while Thetis serves as a sailors' boys schoolship and practice brig. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of Brest Harbour, featuring Horse Shoe Battery and Portsic Point Lighthouse. This enchanting nineteenth-century engraving beautifully captures a moment in history when maritime culture thrived. With its retro-styled illustrative technique and Victorian charm, this engraved image transports viewers back to a time when naval prowess was celebrated through artistic expression. It serves as a testament to both historic artistry and the rich cultural heritage associated with seafaring nations like France.
