EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage 1874 engraving titled "Passages in the Life of a Subaltern" captures two humorous moments in the life of a military officer. The left image portrays a comical scene where the subaltern, dressed in his uniform, clumsily tumbles while attempting to play ball. His lack of grace is evident as he struggles to get up from his fall. On the right image, we witness another amusing situation where it is suggested that retiring early on an important evening is a mistake. The engraved print showcases the illustrative technique and artistic style popular during the Victorian era. With its retro charm and attention to detail, this piece offers us a glimpse into historical arts and culture.
