EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Three Occupants of the Turret of HMS Glatton when fired at" takes us back to a significant moment in maritime history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a dramatic scene that unfolded on board the HMS Glatton. Set against the backdrop of Portland Roads in Dorset, we witness three brave individuals standing their ground within the turret as they face enemy fire. The intensity and danger of their situation are palpable, with smoke billowing around them and cannonballs flying through the air. It is a testament to their unwavering courage and dedication to duty. Commissioned for The Illustrated London News in July 1872, this illustration captures not only a pivotal event but also highlights the valor exhibited by members of the Royal Navy during times of conflict. These naval forces played a crucial role in protecting our shores and maintaining peace on turbulent seas. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who serve in our armed forces throughout history. Their commitment to defending our nation's interests deserves recognition and respect. This engraving serves as both a tribute to these unsung heroes and an invitation for us to reflect upon their bravery while honoring their legacy.
