At Sea – Signalling a Passing Steamer – Drawn by Winslow Homer (Every Saturday, Vol. II, New Series) 1871

"At Sea – Signaling a Passing Steamer" is a wood engraving by American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1871. It depicts a dramatic scene of two ships meeting at sea, one a sailing ship and the other a steamship, with the crew of the sailing vessel signaling the passing vessel. Homer's mastery of detail is evident in the depiction of the ships' rigging and the crew's movements. This artwork is a prime example of Homer's signature style, which captured the rugged beauty of the American seascape, and his ability to translate maritime subjects into compelling works of art.
