EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1826 lithograph by George Cruikshank, titled "A naval lieutenant summons an old midshipman to duty" we are transported back in time to witness a humorous scene from the everyday life of sailors in the British navy. The image depicts a naval lieutenant attempting to call an old midshipman back to his duties, but instead finds him engrossed in roasting a goose at the hearth. The room is filled with nautical elements, showcasing the sailor's lifestyle and surroundings. On the walls hang paintings of ships, alongside a midshipman's dirk and carved parrots. A cocked hat rests on one of the furniture pieces nearby. Cruikshank's handcolored lithograph captures not only the comical nature of this encounter but also provides insight into the daily routines and camaraderie among sailors during this era. The artist skillfully combines satire and wit to highlight both the responsibilities and distractions faced by those serving in Britain's navy. This print is part of Cruikshank's larger series called "Greenwich Hospital: A Series of Naval Sketches" published in London in 1826. It offers viewers a glimpse into naval life through caricatures that were popular during that time period. Overall, this artwork serves as a delightful reminder of historical naval traditions while providing us with an amusing anecdote about duty interrupted by culinary indulgence.
