EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nailing colours to the mast" takes us back in time to a thrilling adventure on the high seas. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment aboard a majestic ship. The image showcases a brave sailor perched at the very top of the towering masthead, hammer in hand. With great determination and skill, he is nailing vibrant flags or "colours" to proudly display his allegiance. Against the backdrop of an expansive sky, this scene exudes both historical significance and breathtaking beauty. The composition evokes a sense of awe as we witness this daring act taking place at such heights. The sheer scale of the ship emphasizes its grandeur and power while reminding us of mankind's relentless pursuit for exploration and conquest. Originally created as an illustration for Herbert Strang's Annual publication in 1910, this artwork has now found its way into private collections worldwide. Its inclusion in Look and Learn's archives ensures that it continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts who are captivated by history and adventure. "Nailing colours to the mast" serves as a reminder of our collective human spirit - one that seeks new horizons, embraces challenges head-on, and leaves an indelible mark on history through acts of courage like these sailors exemplify.
