EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled 'Mando' from the late 19th century captures a poignant moment on board an unknown vessel. The image, captured by the British School, showcases men gathered around a figure lying on a stretcher, hinting at a tragic accident that has occurred at sea.
The details in this glass print are strikingly clear, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the scene and feel the gravity of the situation. The wounded individual is being carefully attended to by his fellow sailors, highlighting the camaraderie and solidarity among seafarers during times of crisis.
The work was created by Gibson & Sons of Scilly, known for their meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey raw emotion through their photography. This particular piece evokes feelings of empathy and compassion for those who risk their lives at sea every day.
