EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to August 1882, showcasing a remarkable moment at sea. The image, with a source size of 3789 x 2532, captures the awe-inspiring sight of the "Berthon" collapsible lifeboat being lowered from the Royal Mail Steamship "Essequibo" in the Bay of Biscay. Situated four hundred miles away from the Lizard, this daring rescue operation was no small feat. In three distinct frames within the engraving, we witness different aspects of this maritime endeavor. The first frame depicts the boat's descent into the vast body of salty water as it is carefully released into its mission to save lives. In frame two, we see an emotional farewell between those on board and those remaining on deck - a poignant moment that speaks volumes about their shared experiences and reliance on one another. The third frame showcases Captain Harvey taking a solar observation under challenging circumstances. This snapshot encapsulates both his determination and resourcefulness in navigating through difficult conditions during this perilous journey. This vintage engraving not only serves as a historical document but also highlights illustrative techniques prevalent during Victorian times. Its retro-styled charm adds depth to our understanding of past events while reminding us of humanity's ongoing quest for safety and security at sea.
