EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured copperplate engraving by W. Read after an illustration by Thomas Rowlandson, we see a scene from Alfred Burton's The Adventures of Johnny Newcombe in the Navy. The image depicts young Johnny vomiting into a bucket in the cabin as his ship sets sail. As he struggles with seasickness, another officer suggests a remedy of salt water and a piece of salt pork on a string. The artwork captures the challenges faced by sailors during long voyages at sea in the 19th century. Seasickness was a common ailment among sailors, especially those who were new to life onboard ships. In this humorous portrayal, we witness Johnny's discomfort and the creative solution proposed by his fellow officer. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, showcasing Rowlandson's talent for capturing both physicality and emotion through art. The vibrant colors used to handcolour the print add depth and dimension to the scene, enhancing its overall impact. This artwork not only provides us with insight into naval life during that era but also serves as a reminder of human resilience and adaptability in challenging circumstances. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on historical experiences while appreciating the artistic skill employed in its creation.
