EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Master B finding things not exactly what he expected" we are transported back to the world of the Royal Navy in 1835. Created by George Cruikshank, a renowned caricaturist, this coloured aquatint captures a moment of amazement and surprise. The scene unfolds below deck, where musicians play lively tunes while sailors revel in merriment. Midshipman William Blockhead, our protagonist, stands at the center of attention with an expression that reveals his astonishment. His wide-eyed gaze reflects his unexpected discovery amidst the boisterous party. This delightful cartoon offers us a glimpse into life within the naval forces during this era. The exaggerated characters and comical situations add a touch of humor to an otherwise serious environment. As we observe these carousing sailors and their animated expressions, it becomes evident that even those serving in esteemed positions like Master B can be taken aback by unforeseen circumstances. Displayed proudly at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK; this print serves as a reminder of both historical events and human emotions that transcend time. It allows us to connect with past generations who experienced similar feelings of surprise and curiosity when faced with unexpected situations. As we delve into this artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate its ability to evoke emotion through visual storytelling while providing insight into naval traditions long gone but not forgotten.
