With the Mediterranean Fleet, Midshipmen's Adventures on Shore
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting engraving that captures a delightful tale of mischief and humor. Created by Marie, Adrien Emmanuel in 1882, this print takes us back to a time when naval officers embarked on exciting escapades during their shore leave. In this scene, we witness a group of mischievous midshipmen causing quite a commotion in the streets. As they stroll along with their walking sticks and military uniforms, citizens observe them with both caution and amusement. The old man struggling to avoid their path adds an element of slapstick comedy to the narrative. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the milord accompanied by his loyal dog. With his nose held high and an air of aristocracy about him, he seems blissfully unaware of the chaos unfolding around him. Meanwhile, our young gentlemen find themselves entangled in various scrapes as they navigate through street scenes filled with laughter-inducing mishaps. Amidst all these shenanigans lies a hidden treasure – a fruit bowl brimming with succulent grapes and currants. This botanical detail not only adds visual appeal but also hints at the importance of food supply for sailors at sea. This engraving serves as both entertainment and historical documentation, providing us with insight into life aboard the Mediterranean Fleet during this era. It reminds us that even amidst duty-bound responsibilities, moments of lightheartedness can be found if one knows where to look.
