Sailor Going on Leave
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment in time from the late 19th century, as a Royal Navy sailor prepares to go on shore leave. In this historical image, we see the sailor pausing to have his shoes cleaned before heading out to enjoy some well-deserved time off. The attention to detail in his uniform and the care he takes with his appearance speaks volumes about the pride and discipline of British sailors during this era.
The scene is not only a glimpse into naval history but also offers a charming insight into social customs of the time. The caption suggests that the sailor is taking extra care with his appearance "to please the girls," highlighting the importance of making a good impression even while at sea.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment, showcasing their expertise in historical prints and transport imagery. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by sailors who spent long periods away from home, eagerly anticipating moments like shore leave.
As we admire this piece from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back in time to an era when duty and tradition were paramount for those serving in Her Majesty's Royal Navy.
