EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Waiting to take off the Pilot" we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image, a colour lithograph by an English School artist, captures a moment of anticipation and excitement on board a majestic ship. The scene unfolds on the deck of a grand vessel, surrounded by the vast expanse of the sea. A tugboat stands nearby, ready to assist as needed. Passengers eagerly await their departure, gazing out at the horizon with hopeful eyes. Among them is a pilot, dressed in his distinguished uniform, prepared to guide the ship safely through its journey. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Bubbles magazine edited by Dr Barnardo in 1903. It beautifully encapsulates both the maritime atmosphere and spirit of adventure that characterized that era. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life and energy to every detail - from the vivid blues of sky and sea to the warm hues adorning each figure's attire. The meticulous attention given to capturing even subtle nuances makes this piece truly remarkable. As we admire this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but feel drawn into its narrative. It serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time while evoking nostalgia for simpler days when ships were symbols of exploration and freedom. "Waiting to take off the Pilot" is not just an artwork; it's a window into history that invites us to imagine ourselves aboard that ship, ready
