EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Crossing the Line, the Duke of Cornwall and York submitting to the Ordeal at the Court of Neptune" captures a significant moment in naval history. The lithograph, created by William Hatherell and part of a private collection, depicts an illustration originally published in The Graphic on June 15,1901. In this image, we witness the Duke of Cornwall and York undergoing a traditional maritime ritual known as "submitting to the ordeal". As he crosses the equator aboard a naval vessel, he is brought before the Court of Neptune. Surrounded by members of his royal entourage and armed forces personnel, including troops from both navy and army units, he prepares himself for this symbolic test. The scene exudes grandeur with its intricate details showcasing royal pomp and ceremony. The engraving beautifully captures not only the regal presence but also highlights elements such as combat units standing guard and platoons representing different branches of armed forces. This historic event holds great significance as it symbolizes loyalty to tradition within military ranks while also reinforcing ties between royalty and their subjects. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege are willing to undergo challenges alongside their comrades-in-arms. Through this remarkable artwork preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment when duty meets tradition on open waters.
