EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print captures a momentous occasion in British naval history - the launching of His Majesty's Ship Hibernia, along with the Circe and Pallas frigates, as well as the undocking of the St George after undergoing repairs. The scene is alive with activity, showcasing rowboats ferrying crew members to and from the majestic ships adorned with flags proudly flying in the breeze.
The artist, Robert Parker, has masterfully depicted this historic event with intricate detail and vibrant colors that bring the scene to life. From the towering masts of the ships to the bustling activity on deck, every aspect of this maritime spectacle is captured in exquisite detail.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when Britain ruled the waves and its navy was unmatched in power and prestige. The dedication by Robt Parker serves as a reminder of the importance of these mighty vessels and their role in protecting British interests at sea.
This print is not just a work of art but a window into an important chapter in naval history that continues to captivate us today. It stands as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of both artist and sailors who made these magnificent ships possible.
