EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Chums" from the front cover of The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper, dated August 22, 1891, showcases an engaging scene of English and French sailors fraternizing in a French port during the late 19th century. The image, created by renowned English artist William Hatherell, beautifully captures the camaraderie and relaxed atmosphere as the sailors take a break from their naval duties. The scene is set in a bustling French café, where the sailors are seen seated at a table, engaging in lively conversation, and enjoying a drink. The English sailors, dressed in their navy uniforms, are seen sharing a laugh with their French counterparts, who are dressed in their traditional sailor attire. The warm and inviting ambiance of the café is further emphasized by the soft, hazy light filtering in through the open windows, casting a gentle glow over the scene. The print, which is part of The Graphic, Volume 44, July to December, 1891, offers a fascinating glimpse into the social dynamics between English and French sailors during a time of naval warfare. The image not only showcases the friendly and relaxed nature of the sailors but also highlights the shared experiences and commonalities that transcended the political and military tensions of the era. This print, with its rich historical context and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for any collector of 19th-century art, history, or naval warfare. The intricate engraving and attention to detail in Hatherell's work make it a true masterpiece and a valuable addition to any collection.
