EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, titled "Royal Artillery, river crossing, 1854 circa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by George Bryant Campion and reproduced by Graf, this print showcases the expertise of the Royal Artillery during their river crossing operations in the mid-19th century. The scene depicts a remarkable sight as a Royal Artillery field gun and limber are carefully loaded onto a raft while mounted artillerymen confidently ford the river. In the distance, we catch glimpses of a ruined castle and a tented encampment that serve as reminders of the challenging environment these soldiers faced. Published by R Ackermann and Sons between 1845-1846, this artwork is part of an esteemed series known as A Royal ArtilleryA. The attention to detail in capturing every element – from the transport vehicles to the fortified castle – adds depth and authenticity to this historical representation. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's collection at National Army Museum London, it becomes evident that it not only highlights military strategy but also offers insights into transportation methods used during warfare at that time. This image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for understanding past military practices. Through its vibrant colours and meticulous engravings, this lithograph transports us back to witness one small yet crucial aspect of military life in 1854. It reminds us of the bravery and resourcefulness exhibited by those who served in the Royal Artillery during times of conflict.
