EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Self portrait as a sailor (cyanotype)" by Edward Linley Sambourne takes us back in time to the Victorian era. The image showcases Sambourne himself, dressed in an elaborate sailor's uniform complete with a bicorn hat and holding a telescope. Posing confidently and full of eccentricity, Sambourne captures our attention as he gazes into the distance, seemingly on lookout duty. His playful expression suggests that this self-portrait is more than just dressing up; it is an exploration of imagination and creativity. The cyanotype technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to the photograph, enhancing its vintage charm. The rich blue tones evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting us to a bygone era when photography was still in its infancy. Sambourne's self-portrait not only reveals his passion for photography but also his love for storytelling through visual art. By donning the attire of a sailor, he invites us into his world of make-believe where anything is possible. As we admire this unique piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the power of self-expression and how art can transcend time and capture moments that continue to inspire generations.
