EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1872 engraving from the Liszt Collection showcases the proposed channel ferry, a magnificent steamer designed to revolutionize passenger transportation. With its impressive dimensions of 450 feet in length and 57 feet beam, this vessel was set to provide an unparalleled experience for travelers crossing the channel. The image reveals a sleek and elegant ship, boasting a height of 95 feet over the paddle boxes. Powered by disconnected engines with a remarkable nominal power of 1400 horse power, this ferry promised exceptional speed capabilities. It was estimated that it could complete the shore-to-shore voyage in just one hour, making it an incredibly efficient mode of transport. What sets this proposed ferry apart is not only its size but also its ability to maintain stability even in adverse weather conditions. Thanks to its form and substantial build, passengers would hardly notice any motion during their journey. This vintage print offers us a glimpse into history when technological advancements were transforming travel experiences. The intricate engravement technique used adds an artistic touch to this retro-styled illustration. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of how innovation has shaped our world throughout time.
