EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving, "The Return to Port" offers a fascinating glimpse into the lively and boisterous world of sailors in the early 19th century. Created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank in 1824, this artwork showcases an exuberant scene on board the Piranga ship. Beneath the deck, amidst barrels and hammocks, we witness a raucous jollification unfolding. The air is filled with laughter and merriment as sailors engage in spirited carousing after their long voyage at sea. Men with wooden legs mingle with musicians playing cheerful tunes while others indulge in pipe smoking or enjoy a well-deserved drink of rum. Amidst this joyful chaos, women join the festivities too, adding an element of charm and beauty to the scene. Celebrations abound as these seafarers revel in their return to port, relishing every moment together. Cruikshank's detailed cartoon-like style brings each character to life, capturing both their drunken behavior and camaraderie. This print not only portrays a jovial gathering but also provides insight into the unique culture that existed among sailors during this era. "The Return to Port" serves as a testament to the resilience and spirit of those who braved treacherous waters for trade and exploration. It invites us to imagine ourselves immersed within this vibrant tableau—a snapshot frozen in time—where joy knows no bounds for
