EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Royal Artillery Officers, 1828" offers a glimpse into the world of military regalia and tradition during the early 19th century. Created by Edward Hull and reproduced by M Gauci in 1828, this print showcases ten distinguished officers from the Royal Artillery. The focal point of the image is an officer positioned on the right side, adorned in a striking Cowell pattern coat. This particular uniform style was introduced in 1827 but would be replaced with a simpler design just three years later. The lithograph serves as a visual testament to this transitional period within the Royal Artillery's sartorial history. Notably, this artwork was published at a significant moment when Royal Artillery batteries were no longer identified by their commanders' names but rather assigned numerical designations. It captures an era of change and modernization within the military structure. With intricate engravings meticulously crafted by Bridgeman Images, every detail comes to life in this stunning print. From each officer's distinct facial features to their finely tailored uniforms, it provides viewers with an intimate look into the lives of these esteemed individuals who served their country with honor. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this lithograph stands as both a historical artifact and artistic masterpiece—offering us insight into an important chapter in British military history while showcasing Hull's talent for capturing human likeness through his skilled engraving techniques.
