EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an unidentified officer of the 105th Regiment, believed to be a relative of the Spring family. Created around 1795, this miniature on ivory was possibly crafted by Frederick Buck, a renowned artist of that era. The National Army Museum in London proudly houses this exquisite piece. The 105th Regiment of Foot was established in Leeds during April 1794 and primarily recruited soldiers from Yorkshire. By September of that year, it was stationed in Dublin, Ireland before officially being designated as the 105th Regiment of Foot in October. However, its existence was short-lived as it faced mutiny in Cork just one year later. Consequently, the regiment disbanded in February 1796. Intriguingly captured within this portrait is not only the officer's military attire but also his striking jewelry selection. This image serves as both a souvenir and a testament to recruitment efforts during that time period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their fine art finder collection. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate miniatures on ivory.
