EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Blue-Jackets and Marines Poling the British expedition up the Perak River" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The illustration, originally featured in Cassells Illustrated History of England, showcases the determination and strength of these brave individuals. The scene depicts a group of blue-jacket sailors and marines working together to propel their boat up the Perak River in Malaysia. With poles in hand, they navigate through the river's currents with unwavering resolve. Their synchronized movements demonstrate not only their physical prowess but also their teamwork and camaraderie. As we gaze at this image, we are transported to a time when colonial expeditions were undertaken with great ambition. The Perak River served as a vital route for British exploration during the 19th century. This engraving captures both the challenges faced by these intrepid explorers and their indomitable spirit.
