This engraving, titled "Bust of Lieutenant Waghorn on the Jetty at Port Said" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into an important historical moment. The bust, created by M Vital-Dubray, stands proudly on the bustling jetty in Port Said. Lieutenant Thomas Fletcher Waghorn was a true pioneer, known for his significant contributions to postal services and transportation. His determination and vision revolutionized communication between Europe and Asia through the establishment of faster routes. This sculpture serves as a tribute to his remarkable achievements. The artist skillfully captures Waghorn's likeness with intricate details that bring this historic figure to life. The strong lines and contours highlight both the strength of character and determination embodied by Lieutenant Waghorn. Set against the backdrop of Port Said's busy port, this engraving transports us to a time when maritime trade flourished. It reminds us of how individuals like Waghorn played pivotal roles in shaping our modern world. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork is now available for all to appreciate thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Lieutenant Waghorn's legacy but also of the power art has in preserving history for generations to come.
