The original photograph, on which this photo-art is based, was probably taken in the 1930s. Biplanes were first used by the Royal Navy during the First World War, mostly for aerial reconnaissance. Launching them from ships that didn't have purpose-made flight decks was a tricky affair and on returning, if they did, they were plucked from the sea by crane. Carriers like this one, with a flight deck, were a later innovation and by the 1940s biplanes had been replaced by more efficient single-wing planes, hence our dating of this image. We hope you enjoy our artist's interpretation of this iconic scene. Please visit our website, 'The Keasbury-Gordon Gallery' at keasbury-gordon.com, to see a selection of our 20,000 fascinating, historical photographs.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive is based in Lancashire, England. We've collected remarkable, historical photographs for over fifty years, many of which were taken by the finest Victorian professional photographers. Our images are used by TV companies, publishers and creative industries worldwide.
Most of the early photographs that have survived have no technical or artistic merit but a few are pin sharp and beautifully composed, with interesting and often historically important content. It is those rarities that we have sought and purchased over five decades and our NFT Photo-Art is based on some of the best in our archive. Welcome to our fascinating and sometimes rather strange world!
