"The Captains Going out of the Ship - Gentlemen" is a notable plate from the satirical series "The Adventures of Johnny Newcome in the Navy," authored by John Mitford (1782-1831) and engraved by W. Read in 1818. This particular illustration was brought to life by the renowned English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, whose work is celebrated for its vivid humor and keen social commentary.

Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827) was a prominent figure in the world of British caricature and illustration during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His works often depicted the follies and vices of contemporary society with a sharp, yet humorous, eye. "The Adventures of Johnny Newcome in the Navy" is a prime example of Rowlandson's ability to blend narrative and visual art to critique and entertain.

"The Captains Going out of the Ship - Gentlemen" captures a moment of naval life with Rowlandson's characteristic wit and attention to detail. The scene is likely set during the Napoleonic Wars, a period when the British Royal Navy was a dominant force on the seas. The illustration portrays the titular character, Johnny Newcome, and his fellow officers in a moment of departure from their vessel. The composition is rich with the bustling activity and hierarchical nuances of naval life, rendered with Rowlandson's fluid lines and expressive figures.

The engraving by W. Read complements Rowlandson's original drawing, preserving the dynamic energy and intricate details that define the artist's style. The collaboration between Mitford, Rowlandson, and Read resulted in a work that not only entertains but also provides a valuable historical insight into the life and times of early 19th-century naval officers.

As part of a larger narrative, this plate contributes to the overarching story of Johnny Newcome, a fictional character whose adventures and misadventures serve as a vehicle for satire and social commentary. Through this series, readers are offered a glimpse into the challenges and absurdities faced by those serving in the Royal Navy, all conveyed with Rowlandson's trademark humor and artistic skill.
