EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured copperplate engraving, Midshipman Newcome is depicted bowing gracefully as he takes his leave from the captain's cabin aboard the HMS Victory. The room is adorned with an impressive array of naval decorations, including flags, anchors, swords, axes, and various prints. Surrounded by officers, including Captain Spring and Admiral Hearty, the midshipman's exit marks the end of an evening dinner on the state cabin. The atmosphere in the room is one of refined elegance and camaraderie, with the officers engaged in animated conversation and enjoying a glass of wine. The midshipman's uniform, complete with white trousers, blue jacket, and gold braid, adds to the regal ambiance of the scene. The room itself is filled with the trappings of the sea and the navy, with cannons, weapons, and navigational tools such as a spyglass and maps, all serving as reminders of the ship's purpose and the perils of the sea. The mast and rigging, as well as the sails in the background, further emphasize the nautical setting. This engraving, created by Charles Williams and published in John Mitford's "Adventures of Johnny Newcome in the Navy," offers a glimpse into the life of a midshipman in the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. The image captures the essence of the Regency and Georgian eras, as well as the colonialism and empire-building that characterized this period in history. Overall, this image offers a unique and intriguing look into the world of the British Navy during a time of great exploration, adventure, and combat. The midshipman's bow serves as a symbol of respect and tradition, adding to the rich history and culture of this fascinating era.
