The New Steam-Packet, "Her Majesty", 1850. Creator: Unknown. The New Steam-Packet, "Her Majesty", 1850. Creator: Unknown
The New Steam-Packet, "Her Majesty", 1850. Steamship...built for the mail service between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight...launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Robinson and Russell, the eminent engineer of Mill Wall, Poplar [London]. The expedition with which she has been constructed is the greatest feat in shipbuilding that has hitherto been accomplished; she having been laid and entirely finished in the short space of two months and seven days. The vessel is built on the wave-line principle of Mr. Scott Russell, and on Saturday week was tried in the river, in the "Long Reach" and attained, at the measured distance, a speed of nearly fifteen knots an hour, the wheels making sixty revolutions per minute, and beating with ease many of the fastest boats on the river'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

The New Steam-Packet, Her Majesty, 1850: A Marvel of Shipbuilding and Communication This photograph print, titled 'The New Steam-Packet, Her Majesty, 1850,' showcases an impressive steamship that was built for the mail service between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. The vessel was launched from the esteemed building-yard of Messrs. Robinson and Russell, an eminent engineering firm in Mill Wall, Poplar, London. The construction of this steamship marked a significant achievement in shipbuilding history, as it was completed in an astonishingly short time of two months and seven days. The vessel was designed based on the wave-line principle of Mr. Scott Russell, and on the day of its trial in the river, it reached a speed of nearly fifteen knots per hour, making it one of the fastest boats on the river. The New Steam-Packet, Her Majesty, was a testament to the technological advancements of the Victorian era. The steamship revolutionized water transportation, making communication and travel between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight faster and more efficient than ever before. This photograph print, engraved by Edwin Weedon for the Illustrated London News, captures the essence of this marvel of engineering and innovation. The image transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the past and the incredible feats that shaped the world we live in today.
