EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Emden, 1838" takes us back to the maritime world of 19th century Germany. The image is sourced from a renowned publication called "A Display of the Naval Flags of All Nations" published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1838. The focal point of this print is an exquisite German flag fluttering proudly against a clear blue sky. With its bold red and yellow stripes, it represents the sovereignty and identity of Lower Saxony, where Emden is located. The design resembles a swallowtail butterfly with its striking striped pattern. Intriguingly, this vibrant flag shares space with delicate butterflies gracefully hovering around it. This juxtaposition symbolizes the harmonious coexistence between nature and human endeavors like naval warfare during that era. The engraving technique used for this print adds depth and texture to every intricate detail captured on paper. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skills involved in creating such prints and their historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when flags were not just symbols but representations of power, unity, and national pride on land and at sea. Through this photographical treasure from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector29, we can appreciate how artistry intertwines with history to create timeless masterpieces that continue to captivate our imagination today.
