EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the historic moment of the launch of H. M. S. Royal Albert, a magnificent Screw Steamer armed with an impressive 131 Guns, at Woolwich on May 13th, 1854. The image showcases a remarkable scene filled with vibrant details and significant elements that transport us back to this pivotal event in naval history. The photograph depicts a bustling crowd eagerly gathered to witness this grand spectacle. Amidst the sea of faces, we catch glimpses of Prince Regent and Queen Victoria herself, both present to christen this mighty vessel. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as steam billows from the ship's powerful engines while flags flutter proudly in the wind. Every aspect of this print exudes Victorian splendor - from the meticulously crafted figurehead adorning the bow to the imposing guns poised for action along its sides. The anchor symbolizes strength and stability while hinting at future conquests that await this formidable warship. The launch itself is captured in all its glory; cannons fire triumphantly into the sky as H. M. S. Royal Albert glides gracefully into water for her maiden voyage. This momentous occasion marks not only a technological advancement but also represents national pride and military prowess. This extraordinary print serves as a testament to British naval supremacy during an era defined by exploration and expansion. It encapsulates an awe-inspiring chapter in maritime history, forever frozen in time through artistry and preserved within private collections for generations to come.
