The North West Passage
EDITORS COMMENTS
by A Mongin, after John Everett Millais, Esq. R.A. (1874), is a captivating black and white print that invites viewers to delve into the depths of a heartfelt father-daughter moment. The painting, which was published by J.S. Virtue & Co Ltd in London around 1880-83, is a beautiful rendition of Millais' original work. Millais, a renowned British painter of the 19th century, masterfully depicted an elderly mariner deeply engrossed in a chart of the North West Passage, oblivious to the tender interaction between a father and his young daughter. The father, with a serious expression and direct gaze, sits beside his seated daughter, both of them holding hands. The father's posture and the daughter's profile create a sense of intimacy and connection, while the father's touch on his daughter's shoulder conveys a sense of comfort and protection. The interior setting, with its dimly lit room and various naval charts and maps adorning the walls, adds to the atmosphere of exploration and adventure. The father, once a sailor himself, may be reminiscing about his past experiences at sea as he passes on his knowledge to his daughter. The presence of other men in the background, some looking away and some looking directly at the camera, adds to the sense of community and shared history. This poignant scene encapsulates the themes of fatherhood, relationships, and the passage of time. The father's intense focus on the chart and the daughter's trusting gaze at her father create a powerful visual narrative that resonates with viewers, making "The North West Passage" by A Mongin a timeless masterpiece.
