EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint print by George Cruikshank captures a significant moment in the life of Mr B. In 1835, he was promoted to Lieutenant and is seen here proudly putting on his uniform for the first time. The image is part of a satirical series that follows the journey of a young sailor named Master Blockhead. The quote "Some are born Great. Some achieve Greatness" from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night perfectly encapsulates the theme of this artwork. It highlights how individuals can rise through the ranks and attain greatness through hard work and dedication. In this humorous scene, we see Mr B. standing before a mirror as he adjusts his new uniform with great attention to detail. A female companion looks on, adding an element of humor to the composition. The interior setting adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing that this transformation is taking place within a specific context - perhaps aboard a naval vessel or in an officer's quarters. Cruikshank's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to every aspect of this print, from the uniforms worn by both Mr B. and his fellow sailors to their surroundings. This artwork not only serves as entertainment but also provides social commentary on military promotions and aspirations during its time. Overall, "Mr B. promoted to Lieut & first putting on his uniform" offers viewers an amusing glimpse into one man's journey towards achieving greatness within the British Navy in 1835.
