EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intricately detailed handcoloured woodblock print, a French Navy sailor is depicted in his boarding clothes, or "matelot, costume d'abordage," as he prepared for a surprise attack on an enemy vessel. The sailor, with a confident and determined expression, wears a white shirt, blue waistcoat, and trousers, all adorned with gold buttons and stripes. Over his shoulders, he dons a red jacket with gold trim and a black belt cinched around his waist. The sailor's head is shaved, save for a neatly trimmed mustache and sideburns. The backdrop of the print is a stately home, reminiscent of the English landed gentry or aristocracy. The home, with its Palladian architecture and classical design, boasts tall columns, a grand entrance, and lush gardens. A lady in a flowing dress and a gentleman, identified as Sir William Park, sit on a bench in the gardens, seemingly unaware of the impending naval battle. The print, titled "Uniform of a sailor in boarding clothes (matelot, costume d'abordage) French Navy, 1844," was created by Pauquet after Goyer and published in Eugene Paninis Marine, arsenaux, navires, equipages, navigation, atterages, combats, L. Curmer, Paris, 1844. The print was likely produced for the Regency market, as evidenced by the elegant home and aristocratic attire. The print was also published by Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts, a prominent publisher of high-quality prints and engravings during the 19th century. This print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the uniform of a French sailor during a time of naval warfare and the opulence of the Regency era. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era.
