EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "On Board H. M. S. Calcutta" takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically around 1877. Created by the talented James Tissot and featured in Alison Settle's book "English Fashion" this image captures a moment of leisure and amusement on deck. The scene unfolds on a British ship, where men and women are seen enjoying themselves against the stunning backdrop of the open sea. Dressed in fashionable Victorian attire, ladies don elegant dresses while holding delicate fans to shield themselves from the gentle breeze. The men, equally stylish in their suits, engage in flirtatious conversations with their female companions. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that this is more than just a casual outing; it is an opportunity for social interaction and escape from daily routines. The railings provide a sense of security as people lean against them while looking out at the vast expanse of water before them. Tissot's attention to detail shines through as he skillfully portrays each individual with precision and grace. The vibrant blue hues dominate the color palette, contrasting beautifully with the white garments worn by both men and women. This print not only transports us back to a specific era but also offers insight into English fashion trends of that time period. It serves as a reminder that even amidst busy lives aboard ships or within bustling cities like London or Paris (where Tissot hailed from), moments of enjoyment can be found when surrounded by
