EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lady Elizabeth Southerden Thompson's masterpiece, "The Colours: advance of the Scots Guards at the Alma". Painted in 1899, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 98x155.6 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Depicting a pivotal moment from the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War, this painting immortalizes Captain Lindsay (later Lord Wantage) of the Scots Fusilier Guards. In the face of a relentless Russian onslaught that had shattered the lines of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, Captain Lindsay stands tall and defiantly holds aloft his regimental colours – symbolizing unwavering bravery and determination. Notably, this historic battle saw British, French, and Turkish forces unite against their common enemy to defeat the Russians. The painting also highlights four Victoria Crosses won during this fierce encounter. Lady Thompson's attention to detail is evident as she captures every element with precision – from soldiers clad in their distinctive Scottish regalia to their iconic bearskin hats. The Union Jack flag flutters proudly amidst chaos and destruction, serving as a powerful symbol of unity among allies. "The Colours" serves as an enduring testament to courage, inspiration, and leadership displayed by these valiant soldiers on that fateful day. This remarkable piece continues to inspire generations with its portrayal of resilience in times of adversity. Image credit: www. bridgemanimages. com
