DESCRIPTION:
SPECTACULAR VINTAGE FRAMED PRINT 'BRITANNIA ENTERING HARBOUR' BY G CHAMBERS.
THIS GORGEOUS PIECE IS RECTANGULAR IN SHAPE AND HAS A WONDERFUL GOLD WOODEN FRAME WITH A BEVELED EDGE.
THE PRINT ITSELF IS OF THE 'BRITANNIA ENTERING HARBOUR'.
The 'Britannia', 120 guns, is shown here entering Portsmouth on 4th February 1835, under the command of Captain Peter Rainier, after spending five and a half years in the Mediterranean. The buildings of Portsmouth Point can be seen on the right. Various traditional boats are visible, including a ketch-rigged craft in the foreground, which is towing a mast and another spar. The sun is setting in this picture.
ON THE BACK IT HAS A STRIP OF PAPER THAT SAYS "BRITANNIA ENTERING HARBOUR BY GEORGE CHAMBERS."
Chambers, the son of a poor mariner in Whitby, Yorkshire, followed his father to sea at the age of 10. After several years, he became apprenticed to a house and ship painter where his skill at lettering and marking whale-boats attracted attention. He was greatly admired for the details of his marine paintings, particularly those showing the crew performing naval tasks. Following his arrival in London, Chambers initially copied history paintings and then received many new commissions, including several from William IV.
THERE IS WIRE ON THE BACK TO HANG IT TO THE WALL.
