EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts the main deck of HMS Blenheim during the Grand Naval Review at Spithead in 1856. The event, which took place off the coast of Hampshire in England, brought together an impressive fleet of Royal Navy ships for a grand display of military might and naval prowess. The image, skillfully sketched by James Wilson Carmichael and published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the bustling activity on board the warship. Sailors can be seen attending to various tasks, while ammunition cases filled with 10-inch shells, metal fuses, and 8-inch shells are strategically placed at the bottom left of the image, a testament to the ships' readiness for action. The ships' wheels and cannons are also prominently featured, underscoring the importance of steering and weaponry in naval warfare. The Grand Naval Review was a significant royal event, attracting widespread attention from the press and the public. The print, which offers a unique perspective on this historic occasion, is a valuable addition to any collection of maritime or military history. James Wilson Carmichael, a prolific Scottish artist, was known for his detailed and accurate sketches of ships and naval scenes. His work was regularly featured in popular newspapers and magazines of the time, including the Illustrated London News. This print, with its intricate details and evocative composition, remains a testament to Carmichael's artistic skill and the grandeur of the Royal Navy in the 19th century.
