Vintage Woodcut - Departure of H.M.S Sultan

This original 19th-century black and white wood engraving, sketched by William Edward Atkins, depicts the departure of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh aboard HMS Sultan. The scene captures a moment of naval and royal history during the British colonial period.

Wood engraving, a relief printmaking technique carved into hardwood blocks, was commonly used in the 19th century for its ability to reproduce detailed illustrations for books and periodicals.

The print is presented in a simple black frame.
