Raphael Tuck’s “PATRIOTIC” Series (No. 8853) included an illustrated mythology of the Royal Navy on the verge of the Great War c1912 entitled Rule Britannia. It was aimed at young people, generously sized at 27.5×22 cm and carried several full chromolithographic plates. Here’s a sampling of the recruiting text:

The British sailor of to-day is just as great, brave, and clever a man as the heroes of Drake’s and Nelson’s times, and as long as we have such men, so long shall we be able to sing, “Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves!”
