EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Royal Military Asylum in Chelsea, London. Taken from Charles Hamilton Smith's renowned collection "Costumes of the Army of the British Empire" this image showcases children dressed in traditional military uniforms according to the regulations of 1812. The young boys and girls stand proudly, displaying their impeccable uniforms with great poise and dignity. Their matching outfits symbolize their connection to parents serving in the armed forces, as this institution was established specifically for children whose families were involved in military service. The attention to detail is remarkable, as seen through J. C. Stadler's expert engraving technique and Colnaghi & Co. 's meticulous coloring process. The vibrant aquatint adds depth and richness to each child's attire, making them come alive on paper. It is worth noting that this institution underwent a name change in 1892, becoming known as The Duke of Yorks Royal Military School and relocating from London to Dover. However, its mission remained steadfast - providing education and support for children whose parents served their country. This print not only serves as a visual representation of historical military dress but also offers a glimpse into an educational institution dedicated to nurturing future generations within military families. It stands as a testament to the resilience and strength found within these young individuals who carry on their family legacy with pride.
