EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Submarine Navigation" takes us back to the 19th century when technological advancements were revolutionizing maritime warfare. Created by John Wilson Carmichael in 1855, this print showcases the artist's intricate attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of naval innovation. The image transports us into a scene filled with ships, submarines, and infernal machines that were at the forefront of military strategy during that time. The focal point is undoubtedly HMS Merlin, a vessel equipped with groundbreaking submarine apparatus. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the anticipation and excitement surrounding this new era of underwater exploration. Intriguingly, amidst all these mechanical marvels lies an explosion - a reminder of both the risks involved in such ventures and their potential for destruction. The presence of Mr. Babbage within the engineers' mess room suggests that great minds were behind these inventions, pushing boundaries and challenging conventional wisdom. This engraving not only captures historical significance but also highlights how technology has always played a crucial role in shaping our world. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress even in times marked by conflict. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on how far we have come since those early days of submarine navigation while acknowledging that there is still much more to explore beneath our vast oceans.
