EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 1800s showcases an Officer of the Royal Horse Artillery in the British Army. The officer is depicted wearing a striking light cavalry uniform, complete with a Tarleton helmet, blue jacket adorned with gold lace, white breeches, and boots. In his hand, he holds a sabre which he uses to instruct gunners. The attention to detail in this handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Alexander is remarkable. It beautifully captures the essence of traditional military attire and highlights the elegance and power of both man and horse. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jean-Baptiste Eyries, a French geographer, author, and translator. His work provides us with valuable insights into English costumes, manners, and mores during that era. This print not only serves as a visual representation of historical military fashion but also offers us glimpses into society's fascination with tradition and pageantry. The image transports us back to a time when horses played an integral role in warfare and were revered for their strength on the battlefield. Whether you are interested in history or simply appreciate fine artistry, this enchanting print will surely captivate your imagination.
