EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Early Morning Parade in Shirtsleeves in the Tropics" transports us to a bygone era in the 19th century. The image showcases the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders at Colombo, Ceylon, engaging in their morning parade. The scene is set amidst the lush tropical landscape of Ceylon, with palm trees swaying gently in the background. The soldiers are depicted wearing shirtsleeves, a testament to the warm climate they find themselves stationed in. Their kilts and distinctive tartan patterns add a touch of Scottish heritage to this exotic setting. As we gaze upon this print from an English School artist's perspective, we can almost feel the early morning breeze brushing against our skin and hear the distant sounds of nature awakening around us. It is as if time stands still for a moment as these brave men go about their daily routine. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on August 27th, 1887 – capturing not only a snapshot of military life but also offering readers back home a glimpse into far-flung lands like Ceylon. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers with its vivid depiction of camaraderie and dedication amidst unfamiliar surroundings.
