EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured photograph captures the majestic HMS Revenge of the Royal Navy, likely taken around the turn of the 20th century, circa 1900. The Revenge was a formidable battleship of the British Empire's naval fleet during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image reveals the intricate details of the Revenge's impressive structure, with its high, angled sides, multiple masts, and an array of cannons and other weaponry adorning the deck. A group of sailors can be seen in the foreground, engaged in their duties, adding a sense of activity and life to the scene. The HMS Revenge was a symbol of the British Empire's naval power and dominance during this period. It saw action in various conflicts, including the Boer War and the Russo-Japanese War. The ship's name was chosen to reflect the spirit of retaliation and revenge against enemies, a fitting moniker for a battleship of the time. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of the Royal Navy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The hand-coloured technique adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of vintage maritime photography.
