EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tea Clipper Spindrift, a majestic sailing ship built in Glasgow in 1867, is captured in this illustration from 'A History of Everyday Things in England. ' The print, dating back to 1938, showcases the third part of the book titled 'The Rise of Industrialism 1733-1851, ' authored by Marjorie and C. D. B. Quennell. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, the artwork transports us to a bygone era when tea clippers ruled the seas. Unfortunately, fate had other plans for the Tea Clipper Spindrift as it met its tragic end on Dungeness shores just two years after its construction. This image not only represents a significant moment in maritime history but also serves as a testament to Britain's industrial prowess during that time. It symbolizes an era where sail-powered ships like the Spindrift played a vital role in transporting goods across vast oceans. The artists behind this masterpiece, Charles Henry Bourne Quennell and Marjorie Courtney Quennell, expertly capture both the grandeur and fragility of these magnificent vessels through their meticulous attention to detail. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the rich heritage that lies within our seafaring past - a reminder that even though time may have moved forward since then, these remarkable ships continue to inspire awe and admiration.
