EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching, titled "Captain of Marines, 1799" takes us back to the Georgian era and offers a glimpse into the world of naval costumes during that time. Created by Thomas Rowlandson and later etched by Henri Merke, this print showcases the meticulous attention to detail in Rudolph Ackermann's Naval Costumes publication. The image depicts a distinguished captain standing tall with his hand confidently placed on his hip. Dressed in an elaborate uniform adorned with intricate details, he exudes authority and pride. His bicorne hat adds an air of elegance while the Union Jack flag behind him symbolizes his allegiance to the British Royal Navy. Surrounded by fellow officers and sailors, this captain represents not only military might but also camaraderie among troops. The full-length composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of their uniforms – from swords at their sides to hats perched atop their heads. Displayed at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK, this print serves as a testament to Britain's rich maritime history. It reminds us of the bravery and dedication exhibited by these men who served under the royal banner. Through this enchanting engraving captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – a snapshot capturing both individual strength and collective unity within the armed forces.
