EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured woodblock print, titled "Uniform of a Naval Student of the First Grade (Eleve de premiere classe)" from Eugene Panini's "Marine, arsenaux, navires, equipages, navigation, atterages, combats," depicts a young naval student dressed in the uniform of a first-grade mate or premier maître in the French Navy in 1844. The uniform consists of a long, double-breasted blue coat with gold buttons and white lapels, a white shirt with a black bow tie, blue trousers with a red stripe, and a white cap with a blue band and gold tassel. The student is shown standing on the deck of a ship, surrounded by rigging and various naval equipment. The print was created by Pauquet after Bara et Gerard and published by L. Curmer in Paris in 1844. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the handcolouring enhance the authenticity and realism of the image, providing a glimpse into the appearance of a naval student during this period. The student's attentive posture and serious expression convey a sense of dedication and discipline, reflecting the rigorous training and commitment required to serve in the French Navy. The uniform of a naval student in the first grade was an important symbol of rank and status within the navy hierarchy. The uniform's design and coloration distinguished the student from other ranks and signaled their progress towards becoming a qualified mate or officer. The print offers a fascinating insight into the history of naval uniforms and the traditions of the French Navy during the mid-19th century.
