EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the past, depicting Lieutenant Newcome's fierce attack on Captain Clackit with a chair onboard HMS Victory. The officers' ward room is adorned with various military artifacts, including pistols, anchors, flags, swords, spyglasses, and even a barrel of grog. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Charles Williams beautifully illustrates this intense moment from John Mitford's Adventures of Johnny Newcome in the Navy. In this image, Lt. Newcome can be seen courageously defending himself after being stabbed by Capt. Clackit's sword. Other officers emerge from their cabins wearing nightgowns as they witness this unexpected confrontation unfold before them. The attention to detail in the illustration brings to life the atmosphere of the ward room and showcases the furnishings such as chairs upholstered in regal fashion. This piece not only highlights an individual act of bravery but also provides insight into naval life during the Regency era. As we gaze upon this historical artwork captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to a time when war and combat were part of everyday life for those serving in the British navy. It serves as a reminder of both the hardships faced by these brave men and women and their unwavering dedication to duty amidst challenging circumstances.
