EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in naval history - the surrender of USS Chesapeake to HMS Leopard on June 22,1807. The image showcases Captain James Barron of USS Chesapeake offering his sword to Captain S. P. Humphreys as he boards from HMS Leopard after their intense engagement off Hampton Roads, Virginia. The scene is filled with tension and emotion as two commanders face each other on the deck, surrounded by sailors and cannons. Captain Barron, dressed in his distinguished uniform and bicorn hat, holds out his sword in a gesture of defeat and surrender. Meanwhile, Captain Humphreys stands tall with an air of victory about him. The details captured in this wood engraving are truly remarkable - from the intricate uniforms worn by both captains to the sailor peering through a field glass in anticipation.

This historical print serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by early naval commanders and highlights the bravery displayed during such conflicts. It immortalizes an important event that shaped maritime history while also showcasing the artistry involved in creating wood engravings during that era.
