Description: You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal. It depicts barefoot young boys training to be Bluejackets in the British Royal Navy (RN). THey are training on the ship Mercury. It looks like they are bringing up the anchor. On the back of the page is a 6-inch article entitled "Our Future Bluejackets.".From a sketch by Louis Wain. Louis Wain (5 August 1860 – 4 July 1939) was an English artist best known for his drawings, which consistently featured anthropomorphised large-eyed cats and kittens. It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
