EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching from 1871 takes us back in time to a British troopship bound for England from India during Christmas. The image showcases the heartwarming scene of soldiers and their families gathered together for a festive dinner on board the ship. The interior of the troopship is filled with an air of anticipation and hunger as men, women, and children eagerly await their meal. The room is bustling with activity as servers move gracefully among the tables, ensuring that everyone is well-fed on this special occasion. Amidst the sea of faces, one can spot expressions of joy and gratitude mixed with weariness from long journeys far away from home. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave individuals who dedicated themselves to serving their country. The vibrant colours used in this print bring life to every detail - from the richly adorned walls to the meticulously set tables adorned with traditional Christmas decorations. This snapshot into history allows us to witness not only a shared moment of celebration but also offers insight into how important it was for troops stationed abroad to maintain connections with loved ones during such occasions. As we gaze upon this beautiful artwork, we are transported back in time, feeling both grateful for our own modern comforts while appreciating the resilience and camaraderie displayed by those who came before us.
