EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wooden Walls of England, the Great Naval Review at Spithead in 1856 (litho) captures a momentous event in British naval history. This stunning lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and power of the Royal Navy during the review. The scene is set at Spithead, Hampshire, where a magnificent fleet of wooden warships dominates the horizon. The meticulously detailed engraving highlights every intricate detail of these majestic vessels that formed Britain's 'wooden walls' - a term used to describe its formidable navy. Amidst this impressive display of maritime might, troops from both army and navy stand proudly on deck while armed forces personnel line up along the shore. Their presence adds an air of strength and unity as they pay homage to their country's military prowess. This historic event was not only significant for its demonstration of naval strength but also for its royal attendance. Members of royalty can be seen observing from afar, emphasizing their support for England's armed forces. The Illustrated London News featured this illustration on July 3rd, 1897 - over four decades after the actual review took place. Its inclusion in such a prestigious publication speaks volumes about its importance as a symbol of national pride and military excellence. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through fine art printing techniques so that admirers today can appreciate and reflect upon this pivotal moment in British history.
