EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Her Majesty's Watermen" and captured by the talented artist E&S Woodbury in 1897, takes us back to a significant moment in British history. The image is part of the book "Sixty Years A Queen: The Story of Her Majesty's Reign" written by Sir Herbert Maxwell. In this remarkable photograph, we witness a group of distinguished men dressed in their immaculate livery uniforms, representing the esteemed profession of watermen during the reign of Queen Victoria. These watermen were responsible for ferrying passengers across the River Thames and played an integral role in London's transportation network. As we commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, marking her impressive sixty-year reign as Empress of India and Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, this image serves as a testament to the rich heritage and traditions that shaped Victorian Britain. It offers us a glimpse into the daily lives and occupations of these dedicated individuals who served their monarch with utmost loyalty. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the composition while emphasizing every intricate detail on their uniforms. This photo mechanical process employed by Woodbury captures not only their physical appearance but also conveys a sense of pride emanating from each waterman portrayed. Let this evocative print transport you back to 19th-century Britain - an era defined by its regal elegance, industrious spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty.
