EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Portmouth Harbour in Hampshire, circa 1888. The illustration is extracted from the renowned book "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria, Vol II" by Robert Wilson. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are transported to a bygone era of the 19th century. In this picturesque scene, a rowing boat gracefully glides through the calm waters of the harbour. The coast stretches out in the background, with its geographical features adding depth and beauty to the landscape. This bustling port was home to the Royal Navy, and sailors can be seen pulling ropes on a sailing ship nearby. The presence of a majestic paddle steamer further enhances our understanding of water transport during Victorian times. It serves as a reminder of how crucial harbours like Portsmouth were for trade and transportation. As we observe this monochrome engraving, it becomes evident that war played an integral role in shaping maritime history during this period. Naval warfare was not uncommon at that time, making ports like Portsmouth vital strategic locations for military operations. Through this remarkable print created by Unknown but featured in Robert Wilson's work, we are given a glimpse into England's rich nautical heritage.
