1554 1618 Feather Panic Pipe Raleigh Servant Thinks Throwing Walter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This hilarious and whimsical print captures a moment of sheer panic and misunderstanding between Sir Walter Raleigh and his loyal servant. In the image, Sir Walter Raleigh is seen leisurely smoking his pipe, completely unaware that his servant is frantically throwing water on him. The look of shock and confusion on Sir Walter's face as he realizes what is happening is priceless.
The historical context adds an extra layer of intrigue to this scene, as it transports us back to 16th century England. It's easy to imagine the chaos that must have ensued when Sir Walter's servant mistook the harmless act of smoking for a dangerous fire.
The composition of the photograph is expertly done, with attention to detail in every aspect - from Sir Walter's elaborate feathered hat to the expression on his servant's face. The contrast between their reactions creates a sense of comedy that is both endearing and relatable.
Overall, this print by Mary Evans Picture Library perfectly captures a moment of lightheartedness in history. It serves as a reminder that even great figures like Sir Walter Raleigh were not immune to moments of confusion and miscommunication. A true gem for any history enthusiast or lover of humorous art pieces.
