EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Capture of the 'Mars' by the 'Nottingham'" showcases a significant moment in naval history. The colour lithograph, created by Charles Edward Dixon, depicts a dramatic scene from Britannias Bulwarks around 1920. The image portrays the intense battle between two formidable warships - the French battleship named "Mars" and its British counterpart, the "Nottingham". With its impressive size of 1403 tons and armed with a powerful 36-pounder gun, Mars was no easy opponent. However, Nottingham's skillful crew proved their mettle as they successfully captured their adversary. The artwork transports viewers to this historic event that took place in Brest in 1738. It captures both the might of these naval vessels and the bravery of those who manned them. The turbulent sea adds an element of danger and excitement to the composition. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Britain's proud maritime heritage and its commitment to protecting its shores. This image symbolizes not only military prowess but also unity among European nations during times of conflict. Displayed within a private collection, this piece serves as a visual reminder of our shared history and cultural ties across Europe. It is an excellent addition for enthusiasts interested in warships, naval warfare or simply appreciating fine art that tells compelling stories from our past.
