EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print titled "Midshipman Cary" takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing the essence of a famous boy from that era. The image is part of a series on Famous Boys published by Godfrey Phillips and was featured as a cigarette card. The young Midshipman Cary stands proudly in his naval uniform, exuding confidence beyond his years. His gaze is fixed ahead, hinting at the determination and courage that lie within him. This depiction showcases the spirit of adventure and heroism associated with boys during this time. The vibrant colors used in this chromolithograph bring out every detail of Midshipman Cary's attire, emphasizing the intricate design elements of his uniform. The artist from the English School has skillfully captured both the innocence and maturity present in this young midshipman. As we admire this piece, our imagination transports us to Chickamauga in 1864 - an important battle site during the American Civil War where bravery was tested amidst chaos and uncertainty. Through this print, we are reminded of how even children were affected by historical events. This artwork serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era gone by when collecting cigarette cards featuring famous boys like Midshipman Cary was popular among enthusiasts. It offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating childhood heroes who continue to inspire generations today.
