EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history during the Campaign (Expedition) of Egypt. Titled "Sailors listening to the mass given by a priest kneeling on the English flag Union Jack, after the Battle of the Nile (Battle of Aboukir) in 1798" it offers a glimpse into life at sea for British sailors during this significant period. The image showcases a group of sailors attentively listening to a priest conducting mass on board their ship. The priest kneels reverently on an English flag Union Jack, symbolizing both patriotism and religious devotion. Standing prominently on the right is Admiral Horatio Nelson, one of Britain's most revered naval figures. The photograph is part of Edward Orme's renowned publication "Historical, military and naval anecdotes and incidents that arrived at the arms of Britain and their allies, ending at Waterloo". Illustrated by notable artists such as Fry, Sutherland, Clark, Dubourg, W. Heart, JA, Atkinson. . . and more; this edition from 1819 provides valuable insights into historical events leading up to Waterloo. Preserved within private collection archives and now made available through Fine Art Finder thanks to Leonard de Selva's photography skills; this image serves as a visual testament to the courage and resilience displayed by British sailors during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece capturing faith amidst war-torn waters, it reminds us not only of our shared history but also pays tribute to those who have served their country with unwavering dedication.
