The vibrant colours and elaborate design of the attire showcase the rich history and tradition associated with ceremonial clothing.
The illustration, originally part of a set of cigarette cards issued by John Player in 1911, provides a glimpse into the sartorial customs of the time. The Lieutenant's outfit is meticulously depicted, from his ornate jacket to his polished boots, reflecting the importance placed on appearance and protocol during formal events.
The image transports us back to a bygone era when dressing for occasions was an art form in itself. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be used to convey status, identity, and cultural heritage.
