EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in the 'Sailors Rest' at Portsmouth" takes us back to a bygone era. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1890, it offers a glimpse into the daily lives of sailors stationed at the bustling port city. The scene is set within the cozy confines of the Sailors Rest, a haven for weary seafarers seeking respite from their maritime adventures. The room is filled with activity as sailors engage in various pastimes during their downtime. Some are engrossed in reading materials while others gather around tables enjoying cups of tea or coffee. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every aspect of this communal space. Sketches adorn the walls, showcasing scenes from naval life and adding an artistic touch to the surroundings. Sixpences are exchanged for refreshments, highlighting the camaraderie among these men who share a common bond through their service. The Sailors Rest not only provides accommodation but also serves as a social hub where sailors can unwind and connect with one another. It stands as a testament to the importance placed on supporting those serving in the Royal Navy during that time. Through this enchanting print, we are transported back over a century ago, gaining insight into an integral part of Portsmouth's history and its significance within Britain's armed forces.
