EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, entitled "Middlesex Cavalry" by Thomas Rowlandson, offers a glimpse into the world of volunteer militias during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. Dated circa 1799, this image is taken from a larger volume of 86 aquatints entitled "Loyal Volunteers of London and Environs," published by Rudolph Ackermann in London. The print showcases the Middlesex Cavalry, a local militia unit that formed part of the Home Defence forces during the Wars of the French Revolution. Rowlandson's masterful use of aquatint technique brings to life the vibrant colors and dynamic energy of the scene. The cavalrymen are depicted in their distinctive uniforms, each man exuding a sense of pride and determination. Their horses, too, are captured with remarkable detail, their muscles taut and ready for action. The print's title, "Middlesex Cavalry," is inscribed at the bottom, along with the name of the publisher, Rudolph Ackermann, and the date of publication, August 12, 1799. This print serves as a testament to the spirit of volunteerism and patriotism that characterized the Home Defence forces during this time. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women who answered the call to protect their communities and their country during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. The "Loyal Volunteers of London and Environs" series was a popular publication during the late 18th century, and this print of the Middlesex Cavalry is a prime example of the high-quality and intricacy of the aquatint process. It is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the world of volunteer militias during the French Revolution and the role they played in Home Defence.
