EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming comedic illustration, circa 1922, depicts two seafaring men engaged in a lighthearted moment at sea. Dressed in traditional naval attire, complete with hats, coats, and trousers, they embody the spirit of camaraderie and adventure that defined the maritime community during this era. The focus of the illustration is on the man on the left, who is in the midst of spitting out a fish with a disgruntled expression on his face. A bite has been taken out of the fish, adding to his frustration. His companion, on the right, looks on in amusement, no doubt relishing in the humor of the situation. The caption, "He did not like it," adds an extra layer of comedic effect to the image, as it implies that the man's distaste for the fish was not just a matter of preference, but rather a result of a disappointing catch. The use of simple, colloquial language in the caption further emphasizes the informal, lighthearted tone of the illustration. This unattributed print, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the world of seafaring life during the early 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the importance of humor and friendship in even the most challenging of circumstances.
