About this work

A hand-coloured print titled Midshipman No.5 by Thomas Rowlandson shows a young naval officer in a blue coat, white breeches and a black tricorn hat, carrying a sextant and leather satchels on a quayside. Two sailing ships and a group of figures appear in the background, with a stone wall on the right. The publication line in the lower border gives London, Feb. 1, 1799, published by R. Ackermann.
