EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "CARTOON: BRITISH NEPTUNE" showcases a powerful and symbolic representation of British triumph in the naval realm. Created in 1794, this engraving depicts Admiral Lord Howe as the personification of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Riding triumphantly on a dolphin-drawn chariot, Howe pulls six French ships with tattered sails behind him. In this allegorical cartoon, British victory is emphasized by the sight of their flag proudly flying above the defeated French tricolor. The artist skillfully incorporates elements from Greco-Roman mythology to convey both power and divine intervention. A cherub accompanies Neptune, further emphasizing his status as a deity. This artwork serves as an ode to Admiral Lord Howe's late 18th-century naval success against France during times of war. It captures not only his strategic prowess but also highlights Britain's dominance at sea during that period. The intricate details and historical significance make this print a valuable piece for those interested in naval history or art enthusiasts alike. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece from their collection for admirers to appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical context for years to come.
