EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Forge Deck Night August 9th Preparing Iron Plating" by Robert Charles Dudley showcases the great technological achievements of the 19th century. The image, created using watercolor, graphite, and gouache on a sheet measuring 10 3/8 x 17 7/8 inches (26.3 x 45 cm), transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. In this artwork, we witness the meticulous preparations taking place on deck as workers lay down iron plating for a significant project. This scene represents the laying of a telegraphic cable beneath the Atlantic Ocean—a groundbreaking feat that allowed messages to be transmitted at an unprecedented speed between North America and Europe. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the grandeur of the steamer and the intricate work being carried out by these skilled individuals. Their dedication and expertise are essential in ensuring that this monumental task is executed flawlessly. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing depiction, we can't help but marvel at how far technology has come since those early days. What once took ten to twelve days for messages to travel across continents now takes mere minutes thanks to advancements like these. The Liszt Collection presents us with yet another remarkable piece from our past—reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit of progress and its ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
