Invisible Grey
EDITORS COMMENTS
as a War Paint: This intriguing 19th-century engraving captures the essence of mystery and surprise. The image depicts an amusing scene, witnessed by Sentry Glocketty, an errand boy who finds himself in the midst of an extraordinary phenomenon. In this comical illustration for The Graphic, published on August 4th, 1883, we see the arrival of Invisible Grey - a war paint that renders its wearer completely invisible. As the first lieutenant dons his invisible doublet covered in this magical substance, he sets off to startle and puzzle his fellow soldiers. The energetic and prophetic reflection on this peculiar case leaves everyone at the sentry box alarmed yet fascinated. Even the doctor's painted face fails to run away from senior sub Claymore Miles' hint about engineers adding their artistic touches. The natives are equally confounded by this unexpected reconnaissance mission turned into a delightful spectacle. With kilts fluttering in confusion and laughter echoing through the air, it becomes clear that "Invisible Grey" has brought both amusement and bewilderment to all those involved. This print from Bridgeman Images transports us back to a time when imagination knew no bounds. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serious matters such as war, moments of lightheartedness can bring joy and camaraderie among comrades. Let us revel in this whimsical artwork while appreciating its historical significance – a testament to human creativity and our eternal fascination with the mysterious forces that surround
