EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant colours and intricate details of John Nixon's "Invade us guys! (colour etching)" transport us back to a pivotal moment in British history. The young loyalist sailor depicted in the print stands proudly, extolling the virtues and heroism of his nation as the threat of invasion looms large.
Published in 1803, just after the resumption of hostilities with France, this artwork captures the spirit of patriotism and defiance that defined the era. The sailor is not portrayed engaging in debauchery or revelry, but rather as a defender of his homeland. His hat ribbon proudly bears the inscription "Nelson for ever," paying homage to Admiral Horatio Nelson who was a symbol of British naval power at the time.
The scene is alive with energy and determination, reflecting the courage and resilience of those who fought to protect Great Britain from foreign threats. The colourful imagery and attention to detail draw us into this historical moment, allowing us to glimpse into the mindset of those who lived through these turbulent times.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by generations past to safeguard their way of life. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of uncertainty and conflict, there are always those willing to stand up and defend what they hold dear.
