EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "On 'Liberty' on the China Station, Jack and Jolly on a Full-Speed Trial at Nanking" takes us back to the early 20th century. Created by John Charlton in 1901, this print captures a thrilling moment aboard the ship "Liberty" during its time stationed in China. The scene depicts two sailors, Jack and Jolly, engaged in a full-speed trial at Nanking. As they navigate through choppy waters with determination etched across their faces, one can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through their veins. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every ripple of water and gust of wind seems palpable. This illustration originally appeared in The Graphic magazine on November 23rd, 1901. It offers viewers a glimpse into life onboard naval vessels during this era while also showcasing the beauty of Chinese landscapes as seen from the perspective of these British sailors. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history between China and Britain during that period. It highlights not only cultural exchange but also technological advancements in naval exploration. This artwork is part of a private collection and has been preserved meticulously over time. As we admire this engraving today, it allows us to reflect upon our shared past and appreciate how art can transport us to different times and places.
