Four sailors relaxing on deck, one reading, 1820 (pen, ink, wash, watercolour)
7342273 Four sailors relaxing on deck, one reading, 1820 (pen, ink, wash, watercolour) by Streatfeild, Thomas (1777-1848); 8.5x13.2 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: Reverend Thomas Streatfeild (1777-1848)
The present album of pencil drawings and watercolours represents a departure from the sobriety of Streatfeild's activities as a curate and antiquarian. It begins with a few pencil studies: a bridge, trees and animals, but is largely made up of a group of scenes aboard ship, presumably taken from life. The collected vignettes and caricatures offer a humorous glimpse of life on board ship, as passengers find their sea-legs and the crew carry out their duties. Curiously, none of the drawings include any suggestion of a port or coastline, or any other indication of where the ship was sailing from or to. However, it seems likely that the images record the voyage of a packet boat crossing the English Channel or North Sea.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 1820 watercolor print by Reverend Thomas Streatfeild captures a delightful scene of four sailors relaxing on deck. One of the sailors is engrossed in a book, while the others lounge around, taking a moment to unwind from their duties at sea.
Streatfeild's collection of drawings and watercolors in this album offers a lighthearted glimpse into life aboard ship during the early 19th century. The scenes are filled with humor and camaraderie as passengers adjust to life at sea and crew members go about their tasks.
What makes this particular artwork intriguing is the absence of any indication of where the ship was sailing from or to. There are no hints of a port or coastline in sight, leaving viewers to wonder about the journey these sailors were embarking on.
Perhaps they were crossing the English Channel or North Sea on a packet boat, facing both challenges and moments of relaxation along the way. Regardless of their destination, this print serves as a timeless reminder of the simple joys found in companionship and leisure amidst life's adventures at sea.
