The Favourite of the Regiment
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by John Dawson Watson that takes us back to the military world of the 19th century. This beautifully detailed print, now part of a private collection, showcases an intimate moment between a soldier and his beloved horse. The scene depicts a soldier in full uniform standing beside his trusty steed, both bathed in warm sunlight. The bond between them is evident as they share a quiet moment together. The soldier's affectionate gaze towards his loyal companion speaks volumes about their deep connection and mutual respect. Watson's masterful technique brings every intricate detail to life - from the intricate patterns on the horse's saddle to the fine lines etched into its mane. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical attributes but also their emotional connection, making this artwork truly come alive. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "The Graphic" in 1870, showcasing Watson's ability to evoke emotion through art even within the constraints of commercial work. Today, it serves as a timeless reminder of the profound relationship between soldiers and their horses during times of war. "The Favourite of the Regiment" is more than just a depiction of military life; it encapsulates loyalty, companionship, and unwavering devotion. It invites us to reflect upon our own connections with those who stand by us through thick and thin – be they human or animal – reminding us that true friendship knows no boundaries.
