Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage LithograpLieutenant Wainwright Receiving Admiral Cervera, Battle of Santiago Bay, Cuba - 1906 Photogravure "Allow me to congratulate you, Admiral, on the gallant fight you have made." Battle of Santiago de Cuba: "The Gloucester, being of lighter draught than the battle-ships, ran in closer, and received Admiral Cervera on board. Grasping the hand of the gray-haired admiral, Lieutenant Wainwright said: 'Allow me to congratulate you, admiral, on the gallant fight you have made. It is the most daring feat in modern history." The admiral bowed his head, uttered not a word, while the silent tears, coursing their way down his furrowed cheeks, told how his lion heart was lacerated and torn at defeat." The Gloucester's impressive young captain, Lieutenant Commander Richard Wainwright, went on to a successful Navy career, retiring as a rear admiral. Admiral Pascual Cervera y Topete (18 February 1839 – 3 April 1909) was a Spanish Navy officer and politician who served in a number of high-ranking positions within the Navy and fought in several wars during the 19th century. Having served in Morocco, the Philippines, and Cuba, he went on to serve as Minister of the Navy, Chief of Staff of the Navy, naval attaché in London, the captain of several warships, and most notably, commander of the Cuba Squadron during the Spanish–American War. Although he believed that the Spanish Navy was suffering from multiple problems and that there was no chance for victory over the United States Navy, Cervera took command of the squadron and fought in a last stand during the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, where he was decisively defeated.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
