EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of life on board the SS Knivsberg in the South China Sea, back in 1898. The subject of this portrait is A Hansen, the first officer of the ship, a German crew member who played an integral role in transportation during that era. Dressed in his impeccable sailor attire, Hansen stands tall with a sense of pride and purpose. His hat adds a touch of elegance to his appearance while shielding him from the sun's rays as he gazes through his trusty telescope. The attention to detail in his clothing reflects both practicality and style. The lithograph was created by Christian Wilhelm Allers for his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), showcasing not only Allers' artistic talent but also providing valuable insights into maritime life at that time. This particular image showcases Allers' ability to capture individual personalities within a larger context. As we peer into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a different century where water transport reigned supreme. A testament to human ingenuity and exploration, this photograph immortalizes A Hansen's contribution as an essential member of the crew aboard SS Knivsberg. It serves as a reminder of Germany's rich seafaring heritage and its significant role in global transportation during that period.
