EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a French sailor in his boarding dress, captured around the year 1850. The image is an engraving created by the talented French School from the 19th century and now resides in a private collection. The sailor stands tall and proud, displaying his military navy uniform with great precision. His attire exudes strength and determination, symbolizing the bravery of those who served in the French navy during this era. A gun rests firmly on his shoulder, reminding us of the importance of protection at sea. The artist Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured every intricate detail of this portrait, highlighting both the elegance and ruggedness that define a sailor's life. From the folds in his clothing to each strand of hair on his head, no aspect has been overlooked. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into history as it immortalizes not only an individual but also an entire period marked by naval power struggles and maritime exploration. It serves as a reminder of France's rich nautical heritage and pays homage to all those who dedicated their lives to serving their country at sea. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like for these courageous sailors over 150 years ago.
