EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Portrait of Greenwich Pensioner, seated with clay pipe and tankard" by Henry Dawe, offers a glimpse into the life of a retired sailor in 19th century England. The pensioner is depicted wearing a distinctive cocked hat and Hospital Boatswain's lace on his cuff, sitting at a tavern table with a panelled background behind him.
In his right hand, he holds a classic clay pipe, while his left rests casually on his stick. A pewter ale mug sits beside him on the table, adding to the authentic atmosphere of the scene. Below on the wooden floor lies what appears to be a fallen bowl or tobacco box.
The attention to detail in this portrait is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the pensioner's uniform to the subtle shading that brings depth and dimension to the image. It truly captures the essence of maritime life during this era.
As we gaze upon this print from the National Maritime Museum in London, we are transported back in time to an age when sailors were revered for their bravery and dedication to duty. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of those who served their country at sea and now enjoy their well-deserved retirement as Greenwich Pensioners.
