EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "It's only the pigs, Master William", said Ready, takes us back to the 1900s and offers a glimpse into an intriguing maritime scene. The print showcases Archibald Webb's artistic prowess as he depicts a moment from Ernest Nister's renowned publication, Masterman Ready. In this vivid illustration, we find ourselves amidst a bustling ship filled with sailors and their stores. As our eyes wander through the composition, we are drawn to the center where young Master William stands in awe. With his wide-eyed innocence contrasting against the backdrop of seasoned seamen, it becomes evident that something unexpected has caught his attention. Ready, a trusted companion and mentor figure aboard the vessel, reassures him with those reassuring words: "It's only the pigs". This simple phrase encapsulates both humor and tenderness while offering insight into life at sea during that era. Webb masterfully captures every intricate detail - from the sailors' costumes to the hoist mechanism used for loading supplies onto ships. The artist's skillful use of engraving techniques brings depth and texture to each element within this mesmerizing artwork. As we gaze upon this litho print by Bridgeman Images today, we are transported back in time; reminded of adventure on high seas and tales waiting to be told.
