EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Commissioning a Frigate Fifty Years Ago" takes us back to the year 1893. The artist, William Ralston, skillfully captures the scene of a significant naval event that occurred half a century earlier. In this historical illustration for The Graphic, we witness the momentous commissioning ceremony of an impressive frigate. The image portrays men in various roles and attires; soldiers stand tall alongside officers adorned with their distinguished uniforms. Attention is drawn to the ship itself, its grandeur emphasized by its pendant fluttering proudly in the wind. Street scenes surrounding the port come alive with bustling activity as widows bid farewell to their loved ones embarking on this maritime adventure. Amidst all this commotion, one can spot an old sailor engaging in conversation with his younger comrades. Perhaps he imparts wisdom garnered from years at sea or shares tales of past voyages. Meanwhile, high-ranking officials such as port admirals oversee proceedings while gauntlet-wearing officers address questions and concerns. Ralston's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this historic moment—a time when commissions were sought after and patronage played a vital role in securing positions within the navy. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back fifty years ago—an era filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead on HMS Debon
