EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The King's Navy' by John William Allison, depicts an old sailor sharing the wonders of the naval fleet with two curious children. Circa 1890, during the late Victorian era, this scene unfolds by an open window, overlooking a tranquil bay filled with majestic ships. The sailor, with a weathered face etched with the marks of time and sea, holds a telescope out to the children, inviting them to peer into the distance and witness the grandeur of the fleet. The young boy and girl, dressed in their Sunday best, lean in with wide-eyed wonder, their tiny hands reaching out to grasp the telescope. The sailor's expression is one of pride and nostalgia, as he passes on the traditions and tales of the sea to the next generation. The painting, 'The King's Navy,' is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the sea, the ships, and the sailors who have sailed them, and the children who are inspired by their stories.
