EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Thomas Rowlandson offers a fascinating glimpse into the changing customs of the Navy over two centuries. The image, titled "How Customs change in the Navy, the Refreshments of Two Centuries" transports us back to 1789 and 1889, showcasing how naval traditions and practices have evolved over time. In this detailed sketch, we witness a scene filled with naval manoeuvres and bustling activity. Sailors from different periods are depicted engaging in various activities that highlight the shifting customs within the Royal Navy. From tea-drinking sessions to alcohol-fueled grog consumption, these refreshments serve as symbols of camaraderie and relaxation amidst times of war. The contrast between these two eras is strikingly portrayed through subtle details such as clothing styles, weaponry advancements, and even royal presence. This engraving not only captures historical accuracy but also invites contemplation on how societal norms evolve alongside military strategies. As we delve deeper into this artwork's narrative, it becomes evident that it is more than just a depiction of naval life; it encapsulates broader themes such as tradition versus progress and adaptation within armed forces. Through Rowlandson's skilled hand, we are reminded that even institutions as steadfast as the Royal Navy undergo transformations throughout history. This print serves as both an educational tool for understanding naval history and a visual testament to human adaptability in ever-changing circumstances. It prompts us to reflect on our own customs today while appreciating how far we have come since those early days
