EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the spirit and readiness of The First (Royal) Regiment of Dragoons as they prepare for their service in South Africa during the late 19th century. The image, created by an English School artist, showcases a powerful scene that depicts the regiment's dedication to duty and valor. The soldiers are depicted on horseback, lined up in perfect formation, exuding strength and discipline. Their uniforms proudly display their affiliation with this esteemed regiment, which has a rich history dating back to the Battle of Waterloo. As tensions rise during the Second Boer War in South Africa, these brave men stand ready to face any challenge that comes their way. They embody both home service and active service as they await deployment to a distant land. The horses play an integral role in this composition, symbolizing not only mobility but also loyalty between man and beast. It is evident that these magnificent creatures have been well cared for and trained alongside their riders. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on September 23rd, 1899 – providing readers with a visual representation of the military might being deployed overseas. Today, this print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served during this tumultuous period in history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork from its private collection so that future generations can appreciate and learn from it.
