EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of The Soldiers Institute in Portsmouth, established by the remarkable Miss Sarah Robinson. The image showcases a bustling interior scene, depicting soldiers engaged in various activities within this haven for military personnel. The Soldiers Institute was more than just a coffee shed or social club; it served as a sanctuary where soldiers could find solace and camaraderie amidst their duties. This print beautifully portrays the reading room, where soldiers would gather to immerse themselves in literature and escape from the rigors of military life. Established against the backdrop of Portsmouth's historic dockyard, this institute became a cherished retreat for servicemen seeking respite from their demanding roles. Miss Sarah Robinson, affectionately known as "Mother" to these brave men, created an environment that fostered relaxation and companionship. As evening descends upon this summer scene, one can almost feel the warmth emanating from the lounge area. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and conversation as soldiers unwind after another day serving their country. This evocative print not only pays homage to Miss Sarah Robinson's vision but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of those who protect our nation. It reminds us of the importance of creating spaces that nurture connection and support for those who sacrifice so much on our behalf.
