EDITORS COMMENTS
1891 This illustration, titled "A Cruise on Wheels," showcases a Royal Navy sailor taking a leisurely ride on a large tricycle, as he savors the joys of life ashore during a well-deserved break from his naval duties. The image, created by the Illustrated London News (ILN) in December 1891, captures the essence of the lighter side of naval life, offering a glimpse into the past when sailors were afforded the luxury of recreational activities during their time off. The sailor, dressed in his full uniform, wears a contented expression as he holds the handlebars of the tricycle, which boasts an impressive size and design. The tricycle's intricate details, such as the ornate wheels and the decorative accents, exemplify the elegance and craftsmanship of the era. The sailor's surroundings further emphasize the idyllic nature of his momentary respite, with lush greenery and picturesque landscapes forming the backdrop. This historical illustration offers a unique perspective on the lives of Royal Navy sailors during the late 19th century, providing a window into a time when the rigors of naval life were occasionally tempered by the simple pleasures of leisurely pursuits. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as an important reminder of the rich history and traditions of the Royal Navy and the lives of its sailors. As a valuable addition to any historical or maritime-themed collection, this print is a must-have for those interested in the history of the Royal Navy, naval life, and the social history of the late 19th century. Its high-quality resolution and intricate details make it an excellent choice for both personal and educational purposes, allowing us to appreciate the charm and allure of a bygone era.
