EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Types of the British Navy, Dressing the diver" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical world of naval diving. The image showcases an English photographer's skillful use of color lithography, bringing to life the intricate process of dressing a diver in full gear. The photograph captures a pivotal moment as a diver from the British Navy is being prepared for his underwater mission. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every element meticulously depicted - from the imposing ship in the background to the specialized helmet and suit that will protect him beneath the waves. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that this piece was originally published in The Million on September 24th, 1892. It serves as both an educational illustration and a testament to George Newnes' commitment to informing readers about various aspects of military life. The image not only highlights different types of attire worn by members of Britain's armed forces but also provides insight into their training at naval schools. This visual documentation allows us to appreciate how clothing played a crucial role in equipping troops for combat missions. Intriguingly, this particular print belongs to Valerie Jackson Harris' private collection and has been preserved by Bridgeman Images. Its presence invites us to reflect on our shared history while marveling at how far technology has advanced since then.
