EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph print showcases the might and majesty of HMS Orion, the world's first Super Dreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy, launched in 1910. The imposing vessel, with its powerful guns and imposing presence, revolutionized naval warfare and set the standard for future battleships. The inset portrait within the image adds an intriguing historical context, featuring Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe (1859-1935), a British Royal Navy admiral who commanded the Grand Fleet during World War I. Jellicoe is most famously known for his role in the Battle of Jutland, one of the largest naval battles in history, which took place on May 31, 1916. At the time, the HMS Orion carried the flag of Rear-Admiral Arthur Leveson, the second in command of the 2nd Battle Squadron of the Grand Fleet, under Jellicoe's command. This evocative image, circa 1916, captures the essence of a pivotal moment in naval and military history, offering a glimpse into the past and the extraordinary leadership and innovation that shaped the course of the 1st Great War.
