Légende

Our Artist's Voyage to America, 1890. 'Foul and Fair on the Atlantic; A Little Gossip; The Lookout Forward; In The Steerage; See-Saw; Portrait of a gentlam who always enjoyed his cigar no matter how rough the weather. It's only to say that the cigar was bad; Convalescent. It was in stormy weather that our Artist crossed the sea...Let the wind blow and the thunders roll, foul or fair, the ocean steamer ploughs the watery main without pause. To what height she casts the ocean spray is picturesquely suggested by the "look out", the officer in his marine sentry-box surveying the storm with practised eye and steady gaze...The convalescents on deck...have been induced to come up from below, enveloped in rugs and shawls, to find luxurious couches in the open air. The ladies have quite a pretty fashion in their hoods and wraps and boas, for these periods of recovery from mal de mer...It is a curious feature of the idiosyncrasies of human nature, however, that men as a rule insist upon being good sailors. They are never ill - a little squeamish, perhaps, but that is to be attributable to the salmon or a bad cigar...Our Artist suggests all this in his characteristic sketch of the gentleman who always enjoyed his cigar, no matter how rough the weather'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
