EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Last Voyage of the Great Eastern, passing New Brighton, entering the Mersey" takes us back to a significant moment in maritime history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the grandeur and power of one of the most iconic ships of its time. The image depicts the majestic Great Eastern as it gracefully sails past New Brighton and enters the bustling waters of the Mersey. The ship's massive size is emphasized against a backdrop of tranquil waves and a clear blue sky. Its elegant design and intricate details are brought to life through meticulous engravings that showcase every curve and line. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that era when steamships ruled the seas. The Last Voyage of the Great Eastern symbolizes both progress and nostalgia—a testament to human ingenuity while also evoking a sense of longing for simpler times. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on September 8th, 1888—providing readers with a glimpse into this monumental event. Preserved within private collections until now, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich maritime heritage but also our enduring fascination with exploration and adventure. Bridgeman Images has once again allowed us access to this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection—an invaluable resource for those seeking glimpses into history through art.
