EDITORS COMMENTS
an illustration from Rudyard Kipling's patriotic poem set, published first in the English Illustrated Magazine in 1893, presents a poignant allegory of the sea and the many English sailors who have drowned in its depths over centuries. The illustration, titled "She Calls Us, Still Unfed," depicts a sailing ship bravely navigating the vast, tumultuous sea, its sails billowing in the wind. In the foreground, an allegorical female figure in green and pink robes floats, her arms outstretched, her expression inviting yet mournful. The figure symbolizes the sea itself, calling out to the sailors with its seductive beauty, only to swallow them up in its cold, unforgiving waters. The title "She Calls Us, Still Unfed" refers to the insatiable hunger of the sea for the lives of those who dare to transport themselves across its expanse. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the English navy and its sailors in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, during the fin de siècle and the 1890s. The illustration's haunting symbolism and powerful allegory continue to resonate with readers and art lovers, making it a timeless work of art and literature.
