EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Lambeth Cavalry," is an enchanting depiction of a group of volunteers from the borough of Lambeth, London, who formed part of the local cavalry during the Wars of the French Revolution. The image, created by Thomas Rowlandson and published by Rudolph Ackermann in 1799, is an exquisite example of the aquatint technique, which allowed for the creation of intricate and detailed works of art. The print showcases the volunteers in their regal attire, proudly displaying their weapons and banners. The cavalrymen are seen mounted on their horses, their expressions radiating determination and resolve. The scene is set against the backdrop of a serene landscape, with the River Thames and its picturesque surroundings providing a striking contrast to the military presence. The "Loyal Volunteers of London and Environs" series, of which this print is a part, was published in 1799 to celebrate the bravery and dedication of the local militias that formed to protect the city during a time of great uncertainty and threat. The aquatints in this collection were created to commemorate the spirit of patriotism and community that emerged in response to the French Revolution and the subsequent threat of invasion. This print, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of the people of London during a time of great upheaval and change. The "Lambeth Cavalry" is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the enduring spirit of the community and the importance of unity and defense in times of adversity.
