EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from 1828 showcases a Royal Horse Guards officer, exuding elegance and authority. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, capturing the essence of the era with precision. The Royal Horse Guards (RHG) were an integral part of the Household Cavalry, standing alongside the two regiments of Life Guards as protectors of the sovereign. Originally known as the Earl of Oxford's Regiment during King Charles II's reign, their uniform was a striking blue that earned them the nickname "Oxford Blues" which later evolved into simply "the Blues". Created by artist Edward Hull and reproduced by M Gauci, this lithograph exemplifies their mastery in bringing historical figures to life through art. Published by Engelmann, Graf, Coindet and Company in 1828, it stands as one among ten stunning lithographs depicting various aspects of military life. Displayed at London's National Army Museum today, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when honor and duty were paramount. The officer depicted here embodies both strength and sophistication—a true embodiment of what it meant to serve in such an esteemed regiment. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its ability to transport us back in time—to an age where horse-mounted soldiers stood tall as guardians of royalty.
