EDITORS COMMENTS
Johnny in the West Indies: A Tale of Pursuit and Defiance in the Caribbean Sea This handcoloured copperplate engraving, after an illustration by Charles Williams from John Mitford's "Adventures of Johnny Newcome in the Navy," published in London in 1819, depicts a thrilling moment from the popular nautical novel. The image finds the daring hero, Johnny Newcome, pursued by a formidable "black squadron" in the turquoise waters of the West Indies. Johnny, clad in his naval uniform, is seen leaping into a rowboat, his bicorn hat clutched in his hand, as he attempts to evade the relentless pursuit of an angry Massa planter and a band of enraged Quashee enslaved men, brandishing cudgels. The men, determined to capture or exact revenge on Johnny, are hot on his heels. In the background, Captain Newcome, waving his bicorn hat, is shown in a state of alarm as he orders his crew to man the guns and prepare for battle. The English Navy officer's ship, with its impressive gun carriage and rigging, looms large in the distance. As Johnny makes his daring escape, he crosses the equator for the first time, marking the passage with the traditional ceremony involving Neptune, the sea god, who sits on his trident throne. The midshipmen, dressed in their wigs, look on as the sailor undergoes the rite of passage, which includes being dunked in a tub of bilge water, shaved with an iron hoop, and pelted with rotten fruit. This evocative image, with its intricate detail and rich colours, offers a glimpse into the world of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, a time of adventure, travel, and colonialism. The scene is filled with the sights and sounds of the sea, from the sails billowing in the wind to the roar of the cannons and the cacophony of the crew's shouts and commands.
