EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by John Charles Dollman, we are transported back to the year 1880, where military life on board a troopship is vividly depicted. The scene captures the essence of maritime warfare as soldiers prepare for their journey aboard HMS Orontes. The print showcases various aspects of military life, from the bustling activity of soldiers loading supplies and equipment onto the ship to exhausted troops finding solace in sleep within cramped cells. It is midnight, and despite the late hour, there is no shortage of action or complaints among these brave men. One soldier can be seen diligently packing his belongings while another seeks comfort in alcohol, highlighting both camaraderie and coping mechanisms amidst challenging circumstances. As they bid farewell to Malta and set sail towards Europe, it becomes evident that this voyage will test their resilience. The artist skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the emotional toll that military service takes on individuals. Through his intricate detailing and use of light and shadow, Dollman transports us into this historical moment with remarkable authenticity. This powerful engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve in armed forces throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon their courage and dedication while offering a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever etched in our collective memory.
