EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the tragic fate of The Peninsular and Oriental Steamer Bokhara, as it lies wrecked in the treacherous waters of the China Sea. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into a maritime disaster that unfolded on October 22,1892. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the sheer magnitude of destruction suffered by this once majestic vessel. The mangled remains of the ship serve as a haunting reminder of nature's unforgiving power and man's vulnerability at sea. It is evident that no expense was spared in capturing every minute aspect, from shattered hulls to tangled rigging. As we gaze upon this artwork, our imagination takes us back to that fateful day when tragedy struck. We can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the desperation that must have consumed those onboard. This image serves as a testament to both human resilience and Mother Nature's relentless force. Preserved within a private collection, this lithograph allows us to reflect on history while admiring its artistic merit. Its inclusion in The Illustrated London News further solidifies its significance as an important historical document. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are granted access to these visual treasures that encapsulate moments frozen in time - reminding us of both triumphs and tragedies experienced throughout our shared human journey.
