This artwork, part of a private collection and now in the public domain, showcases an intriguing scene that captures both the excitement and camaraderie among passengers during their maritime journey. As we delve into this illustration from The Graphic magazine dated December 14,1889, we are transported onto the deck of a ship bound for Cape Town. A group of travelers has gathered around an impromptu lottery game organized to alleviate boredom during their long voyage across treacherous waters. With anticipation written on their faces, they eagerly await their turn as one lucky individual reaches into a hat filled with numbered tickets. This image not only highlights the amusements available onboard but also provides insight into how people sought entertainment and connection amidst challenging circumstances.
