EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the momentous launch of the Affondatore, an iron-clad cupola frigate built for the King of Italy in 1865. The image showcases a bustling harbor scene as crowds gather to witness this remarkable feat of engineering and naval prowess. The towering warship stands proudly, its armoured hull gleaming in the sunlight, while flags flutter majestically from its masts. The construction works surrounding the shipyard are a testament to the immense effort put into creating this formidable vessel. Tugboats and smaller boats dot the water, ready to assist in her maiden voyage. It is a scene filled with anticipation and excitement as Italy celebrates its growing independence and naval strength. The Affondatore's distinctive cupola turret design sets it apart from other ships of its time, showcasing technological advancements that would shape future naval warfare. This engraving not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a reminder of Europe's rich maritime heritage. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship and dedication that went into constructing such an impressive battleship. It stands as a symbol of power, protection, and national pride for Italy during this era.
