EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print takes us back to the year 1898, introducing us to a distinguished figure who commands our attention - a steamship captain. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers, this portrait captures the essence of a man responsible for navigating ships from Africa to India aboard the renowned Kapitan Dampfer Luise. The captain's face is weathered yet exudes confidence and experience. His hat sits proudly atop his head, adorned with badges that symbolize his rank and expertise. The intricate details in his clothing showcase the fashion of German seafarers during that era, while his well-groomed beard adds an air of authority. Allers' artistic talent shines through in this lithograph as he masterfully portrays not just a man but also an entire century's worth of history. Through this image, we are transported to a time when steamships ruled the waters and connected distant lands. As part of Allers' book "Rund um die Erde" which translates to "Round the Earth" this print serves as both an illustration and historical documentation. It allows us to immerse ourselves in literature while appreciating Allers' ability to bring characters to life through art. With its timeless appeal, this print reminds us of the remarkable journeys undertaken by captains like him during one of humanity's most transformative periods – the 19th century.
