EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Le Vaguemestre, Distribution des Lettres" transports us back to the 19th century French navy, offering a glimpse into life on board a military ship. The image captures the moment when sailors eagerly gather around their trusted vaguemestre, or mail distributor, as he distributes letters from home. The vibrant colors of this coloured photograph bring to life the emotions and anticipation felt by these naval forces. This historical artwork was captured by an anonymous French photographer and is now part of a private collection. It was later reproduced as an illustration for the Album Militaire published by B Poussot & Valadon around 1900. The scene depicted in this image represents not only the distribution of letters but also showcases camaraderie among troops in combat units. The photograph provides valuable insight into naval culture during that time period and highlights the importance of communication between sailors and their loved ones ashore. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those serving in armed forces throughout history. With its rich details and composition, this print serves as a testament to both French military history and photography's ability to capture poignant moments in time. Its inclusion within Bridgeman Images' collection ensures that it will continue to be appreciated for generations to come.
