EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Explosion du Christian VIII, vaisseau de lignes danois" depicts a moment of intense historical significance. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases a tragic event that unfolded on the Danish warship Christian VIII. The explosion depicted here is both awe-inspiring and devastating. The ship's hull is torn apart, engulfed in flames and billowing smoke. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by sailors during this era of maritime exploration. This illustration originally appeared in Charles Brandon's book "Les Inventions Merveilleuses" (Wonderful Inventions) published around 1875. It captures an important news item from that time period, highlighting the risks associated with early forms of transportation. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded of the progress made in shipbuilding since then. The invention and development of safer vessels have greatly improved passenger transportation and freight shipping over time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for us to appreciate today. Through their collection, they enable us to delve into history and witness pivotal moments like these through artistry and detail.
