EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported back to the year 1799, where a young midshipman stands proudly carrying a sextant. This instrument, used for making astronomical observations, played a crucial role in navigating the vast and treacherous seas of the 18th century. The young man's determined expression reflects his dedication to mastering this scientific marvel. With his eyes fixed on the heavens above, he seeks guidance from celestial bodies to chart his course accurately. The intricate details captured by Rowlandson showcase both the precision and beauty of this marine instrument. Rowlandson's aquatint technique adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. The play of light and shadow creates an atmosphere that transports us into a world filled with adventure and exploration. This print serves as a testament to British naval prowess during this era.
