EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to the Royal Naval Exhibition, a grand event that showcased the might and glory of the British Navy. The image captures a moment of passing, as Admiral Russell makes his way through the exhibition hall, surrounded by ordinary sailors going about their daily tasks. The scene is filled with fascinating details, showing various aspects of naval life. Triced benches line the walls, displaying models of famous ships like HMS Victory. Vice Admiral John Benbow stands proudly in his coat and waistcoat, representing heroes from past battles such as La Hogue and Barfleur. In one corner of the exhibition hall, Lord Nelson can be seen inspecting the lower deck of a ship while other officers discuss fleet strategies nearby. The gallery is also adorned with miscellaneous items showcasing naval history - from Captain Cook's escritoire to costumes worn by navy personnel throughout history. Visitors to this extraordinary exhibition would have been immersed in all things naval - from guns and weaponry to exhibits on victualling and mess tables. Even members of royalty were not exempt from fascination with these displays; it is said that a royal party attended this particular event. This print serves as a window into an era when Britain ruled over vast seas and its navy was unmatched in power. It reminds us of our rich maritime heritage and pays tribute to those who served in Her Majesty's Royal Navy.
