The Story of the Volunteers
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of military dedication and patriotism. The scene unfolds in Hyde Park, where a grand volunteer review is taking place. The Duke of Cumberland and the Duke of York stand tall at the center, their presence commanding attention. Surrounding them are sculptors, volunteers, and notable figures such as Colonel Le Mesurier and Lord Harrington. This historical event occurred on June 4th, 1799 when George III was king. The Prince of Wales can be seen among the crowd, his interest piqued by this display of loyalty towards crown and country. The image hints at a story waiting to be unraveled - one that speaks volumes about national pride and unity during times of uncertainty. It serves as a reminder that ordinary citizens were willing to step forward voluntarily for their nation's defense. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary gathering firsthand. Let us appreciate the bravery and commitment shown by these individuals who shaped our history through their selfless acts as light horsemen or infantrymen – true heroes who deserve our utmost respect.
