The Grand Naval Review - Supplement, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Grand Naval Review - Supplement, 1856. Familiar for the past two years with the story of naval and military achievements, we close the period of a successful war by the exhibition of our unimpaired strength, and splendid training. Never at any period of our history have we been able, even at the outbreak of a war, to boast of a fleet as powerful in numbers and metal as that which floats at Spithead. Such a mighty gathering of first-rates and gun-boats may not for years again be witnessed in these waters; and the rehearsal for the benefit of peaceful spectators of a few mimic episodes in real warfare is an appropriate termination to the series of sterner and more dangerous actions in which the English have lately been engaged'. The Treaty of Paris had recently ended the Crimean War. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The Grand Naval Review - Supplement, 1856', showcases a grand display of the British Royal Navy's unrivaled power and readiness following the end of the Crimean War. The Treaty of Paris had recently been signed, marking the conclusion of a successful war that left the British with an impressive fleet of first-rate ships and gunboats. The image was published in the Illustrated London News, with the caption expressing the awe-inspiring sight of such a mighty naval gathering at Spithead, Hampshire, England. The black and white image, reminiscent of the 19th century, depicts an array of sailing ships and warships with their masts and rigging proudly displayed against the water. Sailors and men in military uniforms can be seen aboard the vessels, engaged in various activities, from transporting supplies to rehearsing mimic episodes of warfare. The photograph is a testament to the British naval prowess and the impressive training of its sailors and soldiers during this period. The intricate details of the engraving, from the ropes and spars to the individual sailors, highlight the skill and artistry of the printmaker. This historical image is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on naval history, military achievements, or the 19th century.
