EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut engraving captures the majestic passenger liner 'Schiller' in all its glory, sailing under steam and sail. The intricate details of the ship's starboard broadside are beautifully depicted, showcasing the craftsmanship of the British School in the 19th century.
The 'SS. Schiller' was a renowned vessel that tragically met its fate when it wrecked at Scilly on May 8th, 1875, resulting in over 300 lives lost. The somber description below the image serves as a poignant reminder of this devastating event.
Created by Gibson & Sons of Scilly, this gelatine dry plate print is a copy negative of an original photographic print from the National Maritime Museum in London. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its visual representation but also in its documentation of a significant moment in maritime history.
As we gaze upon this woodcut engraving, we are transported back to a time when transatlantic crossings were made aboard grand liners like the 'Schiller'. This piece serves as a tribute to both the technological advancements and human tragedies that defined seafaring during the 19th century.
