color engraving

Colored engraving by H. Papprill from a painting by W. Knell, published London 1856, "H.M. War Steam Frigate 'The Terrible' of 1847 tons & 800 horse power..." [The TERRIBLE, bu. 1845, first of 4-funnelled sidewheel steamships to be built and used by Royal Navy. Ultimately the sails were replaced by propeller-driving compound engines, and wooden hulls gave way to iron, steel and armor plate. TERRIBLE was broken up in 1877.]
