EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Highland Regiment in Camp" by John Leech showcases the essence of a military encampment. The artwork, created with watercolor and graphite on paper, measures 41.1x22.5 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon's generous gift to the institution. The image transports us back to a time when armies set up campgrounds amidst breathtaking Scottish landscapes. Soldiers donning traditional Scottish kilts and busbies can be seen engaging in various activities within their military base. Leech's meticulous drawing captures every detail of their Victorian costumes, emphasizing the rich history and cultural significance behind each garment. Through this sketch-like study, we are invited to explore the daily lives of these soldiers during their camping experience. The artist skillfully conveys both the camaraderie amongst comrades and the disciplined routine that characterizes army life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we cannot help but feel a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone by. It serves as a poignant reminder of Scotland's proud military heritage and its enduring influence on art and culture.
