EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in maritime history - the demonstration of Torsten Nordenfeldt's groundbreaking steam-powered submarine in 1885. The image showcases the impressive vessel being showcased off Landskrona, Sweden, to an esteemed audience that includes the Prince of Wales and members of the Danish royal family. Inset within the frame are portraits of key figures involved in this pioneering endeavor: Torsten Nordenfeldt himself, Captain Garrett, and a detailed section across the submarine illustrating its inner workings. Nordenfeldt, a Swedish engineer, successfully constructed a remarkable submarine capable of traveling submerged for an astonishing 14 miles while possessing torpedo-firing capabilities. This design marked a substantial improvement upon George W Garrett's earlier creation. The photograph not only highlights technological innovation but also emphasizes international interest as it mentions that Greece eventually purchased Nordenfeldt's revolutionary submarine. It is evident from this image that Nordenfeldt was keen on demonstrating his invention to influential dignitaries who were undoubtedly captivated by its potential military applications. Through this monochromatic wood engraving, we catch a glimpse into the world of 19th-century transportation and warfare. The print serves as both documentation and celebration of human ingenuity during an era defined by scientific progress and exploration. As we gaze at this historic snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how far technology has advanced since then while appreciating those visionary minds who paved the way for future innovations in naval engineering.
