According to the last regulations, published in 1813, this collection of hand-coloured aquatints showcases the diverse uniforms of various regiments and corps within the British Empire. From the distinguished Uniform of a Field Officer of the Royal Engineers to the humble attire of a Private Sapper, each ensemble reflects both functionality and tradition. The costumes featured include those worn by Heavy and Light Cavalry Cloaked, displaying their elegance on horseback. The vibrant Uniform & Colours of the 9th or East Norfolk Regiment of Infantry exemplify their pride in serving their country. Meanwhile, a Private from the renowned 2nd or Royal North British Dragoons, known as The Greys, dons an impressive uniform that commands respect. Notably depicted are members from different branches such as Hussars & Infantry and even Duke Brunswick's Oels Corps. Their distinct attires highlight both unity and individuality within these military units. The importance placed on artillery is evident through depictions like that of Mounted Rockett Corps from Costume of the British Empire. Additionally, we witness how rank influences appearance with contrasting uniforms for Officers versus Privates & Drivers in various divisions including Royal Artillery and Royal Wagon Train. Lastly, we glimpse into history with representations such as Grenadiers and Light Infantry from Worcestershire Regiment who proudly display their affiliation with one another while maintaining unique characteristics. Finally, we encounter The Blues - members belonging to none other than Royal Horse Guards - whose striking blue uniforms symbolize prestige and honor. These illustrations offer us a window into an era where adherence to regulations was paramount for cohesion among troops while simultaneously allowing individuals to express themselves through distinctive dress.
