H.R.H. on the Way to India
Sunday morning at sea is a peculiar feeling day. You remember that the usual rubber at whist cannot be, that chess is esteemed sinful. You wonder what to do beyond entering into a comparison of High and Low Church views with pretty Miss Chasuble. The captain takes his stand on the quarter - deck at the capstan, draped for the occasion with the Union Jack, and, aided by the first officer, reads the beautiful ritual of the Prayer Book of the Church of England

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "H. R. H. on the Way to India Sunday morning at sea is a peculiar feeling day" we are transported back in time to witness a unique moment aboard a ship. As the royal highness embarks on her journey to India, she finds herself confronted with the challenges of passing time at sea. The image captures an air of contemplation and curiosity as H. R. H. ponders how to spend her day without the usual amusements like rubber whist or chess, which are deemed inappropriate for this occasion. Seeking companionship, she engages in a lively conversation with Miss Chasuble, delving into comparisons between High and Low Church views. Meanwhile, on the quarter-deck adorned with the majestic Union Jack flag, the captain takes his position next to the capstan. Assisted by his first officer, he leads a solemn reading of the beautiful ritual from The Prayer Book of the Church of England. This act serves as both spiritual solace and a reminder of their shared heritage during this long voyage. This Victorian-era illustration exudes elegance and grace while highlighting themes such as good works, sweet charity, and royalty's commitment to service. The presence of a piano hints at possible musical performances that may have brought comfort and entertainment amidst vast oceanic surroundings. Preserved by Archive for generations to come, this remarkable print offers us an intimate glimpse into historical maritime travel experiences while celebrating tradition and devotion within British society during that era.
