EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the 18th century, where we catch a glimpse of two British sailors of the Royal Navy. The attention to detail in their uniforms is remarkable - from the distinctive pigtail hairstyle commonly worn by seamen of that era, to the intricate design on their clothing. These men exude a sense of history and tradition as they stand proudly for the camera.
The image serves as a window into a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the unique style and customs of British sailors during this period. It's fascinating to see how fashion and grooming practices have evolved over time, yet certain elements like the pigtail remain iconic symbols of naval heritage.
As we study this photograph closely, we can almost hear the sounds of waves crashing against wooden ships and feel the salty sea breeze on our faces. The bravery and camaraderie of these sailors are palpable through their stoic expressions and confident posture.
