EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the lively scene of Royal Naval officers riding pigs through the bustling marketplace of Gibraltar in the early 19th century. The midshipman and crew members of HMS Victory, led by their masters and mates, can be seen mounted on the unsuspecting pigs, causing chaos as they knock over market stalls and scatter goods and wares. The Moors, Spanish, and Jewish sellers react in surprise and dismay, trying to salvage their merchandise. The market day in Gibraltar was a lively event, filled with the aroma of tobacco, the sound of pipes, and the excitement of sailors on shore leave. John Mitford's "Adventures of Johnny Newcome in the Navy," published in London in 1819, inspired this illustration by Charles Williams. The scene depicts the mischievous antics of Royal Naval officers during their time in port, a common occurrence during the Napoleonic Wars. The image is a testament to the unique blend of military life, colonialism, and cultural exchange that characterized the British Empire during this period. The engraving captures the vibrant colors and details of the market scene, from the flowers and news being sold to the sailboat in the background. The soldiers and sailors in the background add to the sense of chaos and excitement, while the pig-riding officers add an element of humor and mischief. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Royal Naval officers during a time of war and adventure.
