The Naval Review: Dance on Board H.M.S. "Caesar", 91, Capt. Robb - from a sketch by J. W. Carmichael, 1856. Entertainment after a display by warships of the Royal Navy. In the evening...there were several festive commemorations of the event in the town of Portsmouth and in the fleet. In heartiness and real enjoyment, probably, neither of these festivities exceeded the dance on board H.M.S. Caesar, Captain John Robb, whose amiable wife and her youug lady friends joined the officers in the gay scene which our Artist has depicted. Under the influence of a well appointed orchestra and an invigorating sea breeze the dance assumed an energy and spirit beyond that which usually characterises such recreations on shore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Naval Review: Dance on Board H.M.S. "Caesar", 91, Capt. Robb - from a sketch by J. W. Carmichael, Creator: W Thomas', transports us back to the year 1856 and the lively celebrations following a naval review in Portsmouth, England. The scene unfolds on the deck of H.M.S. Caesar, under the command of Captain John Robb. The photograph, originally a sketch by J. W. Carmichael and later brought to life by W Thomas, captures the essence of entertainment and enjoyment that ensued after an impressive display by the warships of the Royal Navy. The evening's festivities in Portsmouth and the fleet were filled with merriment, but none could rival the dance on board H.M.S. Caesar. The amiable wife of Captain Robb and her young lady friends graciously joined the officers in the lively scene, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy. The dance, fueled by the invigorating sea breeze and the melodies of a well-appointed orchestra, took on an energy and spirit that surpassed the usual onshore recreations. This photograph is a testament to the human spirit and the ability to find joy and celebration in the most unexpected of places. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to relive the excitement and energy of a bygone era.
