EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The Grand Naval Review, at Spithead: Excursionists going to View the Fleet - scene on the "Hard"" (1856), offers a glimpse into the past of a grand spectacle that drew large crowds to the coast of Hampshire, England. The scene depicts the excitement and anticipation of the masses as they make their way to Portsmouth to witness the Royal Navy fleet gathered at Spithead for a naval review. The photograph, created by an unknown artist, captures the energy and vibrancy of the day as people from all walks of life gather together, dressed in their finest attire, to enjoy this unique event. The "Hard" is shown in the foreground, a boat that served as a landing stage for the excursionists making their way to the naval review. The sightseers, both men and women, are shown in groups, some seated comfortably on the boat, while others stand eagerly at the railing, taking in the breathtaking view of the naval fleet. The Illustrated London News reported that "the masses of people of every class which had assembled in Portsmouth had begun early to throng the places where the best view could be gained of the scene." This photograph is a testament to the power of the press and the allure of a royal event, as it captures the excitement and energy of the day, transporting us back in time to the Victorian era. The photograph is a engraving, adding to the timeless quality of the image. It is a reminder of the importance of naval power in 19th-century Britain and the enduring appeal of a day out at the seaside, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or maritime history.
