EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the magnificent figurehead of the renowned ship, "The Terra Nova". Crafted by an English School artist in the early 20th century, this artwork is part of a set of cigarette cards dedicated to Ships Figureheads. The private collection that houses this print has allowed us a glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship behind these remarkable maritime sculptures. "The Terra Nova" was built in 1884 in Dundee, Scotland as a whaler before being acquired for Captain R. F. Scott's British Antarctic Expedition. This impressive carving adorns the stern of the ship, its gilded head capturing both attention and admiration. The intricate details and skilled artistry evident in this figurehead truly exemplify the talent and dedication involved in creating such masterpieces. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to an era when ships were not only vessels but also works of art. The figureheads served as symbols representing strength, protection, or even mythical creatures believed to bring good fortune on perilous voyages. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate every curve and line meticulously carved into "The Terra Nova's" figurehead. It stands proudly against time's relentless passage; a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with exploration at sea.
