Review of the Fleet at Spithead by the Queen, 24th August 1878.

19th century
Description

Review of the Fleet at Spithead by the Queen. 1878.

The Naval Review at Spithead, the Royal yacht passing through the Lines.

Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 24th August 1878.

By Josiah Robert Wells (1849-1897).

Framed, coloured engraving.

Width: 71.5 cm.

Height: 54.5 cm

The Royal Yacht Victoria & Albert is sailing between lines of warships. A naval review requires a large, sheltered and deep anchorage, so in England it usually occurs in the Solent off Spithead. Queen Victoria and her daughter Princess Beatrice had embarked in the afternoon and were joined by Prince Arthur and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Queen recorded in her Journal that it was 'a beautiful sight ... The Iron Clads looked splendid' and she was impressed by 'the 2 torpedo boats, Vesuvius & Lightning, which rushed about at the rate of 20 Knots an hour'. The Times newspaper noted that only a small section of the Fleet took part in the review but that it was still 'a force almost equal to the entire maritime resources of any one continental Power, not alone numerically, but also as to fighting capacity'.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian maritime prints are 19th-century illustrations, including lithographs and steel engravings, that depict naval fleet reviews, ocean vessels, and historic seafaring events from the British imperial era.

These works were produced using engraving or lithographic plates printed onto heavy paper rag, frequently finished with hand-colouring, and presented behind glass in gilded wooden frames.

Authentic period prints exhibit precise plate impression lines or natural lithographic grain, uniform paper age or light foxing, and original printer publication details along the lower margin.

Nautical prints bring historical balance to contemporary settings when positioned above a sideboard, integrated into a gallery wall, or hung in a study with traditional timber panelling.

Keep prints positioned away from direct sunlight and damp environments, dust gilt frames softly with a microfibre cloth, and apply glass cleaner to a soft cloth rather than directly onto the glass.
