Sailor Circa 1650 - A British Sailor of the Mid-17th Century Description: This evocative photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of a British sailor from the mid-17th century. The image, believed to be taken circa 1650, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of exploration, adventure, and maritime dominance. The sailor, with weathered features and a stoic expression, dons the traditional attire of the period. His clothing consists of a woolen tunic, a linen shirt, and a pair of breeches, all worn with a sense of practicality that speaks volumes of the harsh conditions at sea. A belt holds his waistcoat in place, while a pair of sturdy leather boots protect his feet. A tricorn hat, adorned with a cockade, sits atop his head, shielding him from the sun or the rain. His hands, calloused and strong, are clenched around a rope, a testament to the long hours spent at the helm or working the sails. His eyes, sharp and focused, convey a sense of determination and resilience, essential qualities for a sailor in the treacherous waters of the 17th century. The background of the image is hazy, with the outlines of other ships and the vast expanse of the sea visible in the distance. The scene is one of quiet intensity, as the sailor stands alone, a solitary figure against the backdrop of the vast ocean. This photograph print is an invaluable resource for historians, students, and anyone with an interest in the history of seafaring and the British maritime tradition. It offers a unique insight into the lives of the sailors who braved the unknown, paving the way for the great maritime empires of the future.
