EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas print titled "Peter I, the Great (1672-1725) at Deptford Dockyard, 1857" by Daniel Maclise takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The painting showcases Peter the Great, one of Russia's most influential leaders, alongside William III at Deptford Dockyard. In this grand composition measuring 152.3x243.7 cm, Maclise skillfully captures the essence of these two powerful figures and their connection to shipbuilding and construction. Peter the Great is depicted on the left holding a saw, symbolizing his hands-on approach to leadership and his dedication to modernizing Russia's navy.

The presence of these two historical figures together emphasizes their shared interest in expanding their respective countries' naval capabilities. Notably present in this artwork is a dwarf laborer who adds an intriguing element to the scene. This inclusion highlights both social dynamics and diversity within society during that era. This remarkable piece from Royal Holloway University's collection offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in Russian history while showcasing Maclise's exceptional talent as an artist.
