EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the wreckage of H. M. S. "Phoenix" off Prince Edward's Island on September 12,1882. The image is divided into three distinct scenes that offer a comprehensive outlook on this maritime disaster. In the first panel, we witness H. M. S. "Phoenix" at daylight on September 13, with its crew diligently working on the forecastle to construct a raft amidst the chaotic aftermath of the wreck. Their determination and resilience are palpable as they strive to salvage what remains. The second view provides us with an expansive vista taken from the southeast side of East Point. It offers a panoramic perspective of both nature's beauty and destruction intertwined - showcasing not only the wreckage but also highlighting the ruggedness and vulnerability of Prince Edward's Island coastline. Lastly, we are presented with an engraving depicting H. M. S. "Northampton" off East Point Lighthouse. This scene showcases another vessel involved in rescue efforts, hoisting guns saved from "Phoenix" while utilizing electric light technology—an innovative approach for that era. The vintage aesthetic and illustrative technique employed in this engraved image transport us back to Victorian times when such engravements were highly valued for their artistic merit and historical documentation. Overall, this print serves as a poignant reminder of past events while paying homage to both nautical history and artistic craftsmanship through its retro-styled composition.
