Buglers were normally young soldiers. They were responsible for sounding calls that signalled changes in the daily routines of a unit, especially when in camp. The most well-known call is The Last Post, sounded at the end of the day when the duty officer had completed his inspection of the camp and its sentry posts. Bugle calls also relayed commanders orders on the battlefield, whether to advance, retreat, cease fire and so forth.); eNational Army Museum; English, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Bugler of the Seventeenth, Undress" captures the essence of a young bugler in the 19th century. Created by Edward Hull and reproduced by M Gauci in 1828, this print showcases the skillful artistry and attention to detail that was characteristic of this era. The bugler depicted here is dressed in an undress uniform, which signifies a more relaxed attire compared to full dress. With his bugle held firmly against his lips and his eyes focused intently on something beyond our view, he exudes a sense of purpose and dedication. Buglers played a vital role within military units during this time period. Responsible for sounding calls that signaled changes in daily routines or relayed commanders' orders on the battlefield, these young soldiers were essential for maintaining order and communication within their units. The most famous call associated with buglers is "The Last Post" which marked the end of each day's activities. This lithograph not only serves as a visual representation of historical military practices but also pays homage to the unsung heroes who carried out these duties with precision and pride. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this artwork allows us to glimpse into an important aspect of military life from centuries past. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, "Bugler of the Seventeenth, Undress" invites viewers to appreciate both artistic beauty and historical significance simultaneously.
