EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print titled "I will never propose you for a medal, my boy, you are decorated enough already" transports us to the late 19th or early 20th century French naval world. This humorous and educational card showcases a scene aboard a ship's deck, where an officer is engaged in conversation with a young sailor. The image exudes charm and nostalgia as it captures the camaraderie between the two characters. The tattooed captain playfully remarks that he will not recommend the young sailor for any more medals since his body is already adorned with numerous decorations. It hints at the sailor's bravery and accomplishments during his service. Intriguing details fill this delightful composition; from sailors going about their duties to boxes of Chocolat Saintoin stacked on shelves in the background. These chocolates add an element of sweetness to this whimsical scene, evoking memories of visits to old-fashioned candy stores. This artwork serves as both entertainment and education, offering viewers a glimpse into maritime life while tickling their funny bone. The vibrant colors and intricate detailing characteristic of chromolithography bring this historical moment alive before our eyes. As we admire this charming print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but appreciate its ability to transport us back in time while reminding us that humor transcends generations.
