EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic sinking of The Victoria battleship off the Syrian coast, as it is spurred by the ship Camperdown. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this engraving was featured in "Le petit journal" on July 8,1893. Part of the Selvas collection and now held in a private collection, this historical artwork offers a glimpse into a tragic event that unfolded at sea. The image showcases the chaos and fear that engulfed those aboard The Victoria as it succumbed to its watery grave. The hazy atmosphere adds to the sense of urgency and danger surrounding this maritime disaster. With boats scattered around and drowning sailors struggling for survival, one can only imagine their desperate fight against nature's wrath. This print serves as a reminder of how unpredictable life at sea can be, even for mighty battleships like The Victoria. It also highlights the power of press during that era, with "Le petit journal" capturing significant events such as this shipwreck through engravings like these. Leonard de Selva expertly photographed this historic engraving from his personal collection, preserving not only an important moment in history but also showcasing his passion for art documentation. As we admire this print today, let us reflect on those who lost their lives on that fateful day and appreciate how far our transportation systems have evolved since then.
