Limber Up! - Bluejackets at Field Gun - A Glimpse into Naval History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Limber Up!" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into naval history. The engraving, created by William Heysham Overend and engraved by P Naumann, captures a moment of action and camaraderie among bluejackets – sailors in the Royal Navy. The scene depicts a group of men dressed in their distinctive uniforms, standing proudly alongside a field gun. These brave individuals were part of an exhibition held at the Royal Naval Exhibition in 1891. The Illustrated London News featured this illustration on June 13th that year. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving showcases not only the military prowess but also provides insight into social dynamics during that era. It highlights the importance of physical fitness as these bluejackets limber up before engaging with their weapons. The image transports us to a time when cannons and artillery played crucial roles in naval warfare. It serves as a reminder of Britain's maritime heritage and its powerful navy during the Victorian era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their Fine Art Finder collection. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance while immersing ourselves in an important chapter of naval history.
