EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a lively and dramatic scene aboard HMS Inconstant, beautifully depicted in this engraving by William Heysham Overend. The sketch, originally published in The Illustrated London News on November 11th, 1882, offers a fascinating glimpse into maritime customs and traditions of the Royal Navy. In this image, we witness a naval school's platoon engaged in an animated combat exercise. Amidst the flurry of activity and excitement, one cannot help but notice the unexpected presence of monkeys. These mischievous creatures add an element of surprise to the scene as they swing from ropes and observe the proceedings with keen interest. The inclusion of these primates not only adds a touch of whimsy but also serves as a reminder that even amidst serious military training, there is room for lightheartedness and camaraderie. It highlights how sailors found solace in their animal companions during long voyages at sea. This engraving showcases Overend's exceptional talent for capturing both human drama and wildlife animals' essence. His attention to detail brings every figure to life while maintaining an overall sense of energy and movement. As we gaze upon this historical print from our private collection today, we are transported back to a time when naval traditions were upheld with pride on board HMS Inconstant. "Sling the Monkey!" stands as a testament to the rich heritage shared between humans and animals within armed forces throughout history.
