The Crisis in Crete - British Bluejackets on a New Duty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by William Hatherell and now part of a private collection, captures the intense atmosphere during the crisis in Crete in 1897. The image depicts a crucial moment when British bluejackets from the Royal Navy disembark to protect Cretan refugees amidst escalating tensions. In this powerful scene, we witness the bravery and dedication of these sailors as they fulfill their duty to safeguard those affected by the conflict. With their uniforms proudly displaying their allegiance to Queen and country, these naval heroes stand ready to defend against any threat that may arise. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and shade conveys the urgency and gravity of the situation. From the determined expressions on each sailor's face to the chaos unfolding behind them, one can almost feel themselves transported back in time. This print originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on March 13th, 1897 – a publication known for its insightful reporting during times of crisis. It serves as both a historical record and a testament to human compassion amidst turmoil. As we gaze upon this poignant image today, let us remember not only the valiant efforts of these British bluejackets but also reflect upon our own capacity for courage and protection in times of need.
