EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide presents an enchanting image of the 11th Hussars, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, during the Victorian or Edwardian era. The soldiers are seen in a formal parade setting, proudly displaying their regimental colors and bearing their traditional weapons. The 11th Hussars, also known as the "Prince Albert's (York) Dragoons," were a renowned cavalry regiment with a rich history that dates back to 1715. The soldiers in this photograph are dressed in their full uniforms, complete with bearskin hats, red jackets, and white trousers. Their horses, equally well-groomed and outfitted, stand obediently by their sides. The regimental colors, held aloft by a sergeant and a drummer, flutter gently in the breeze, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The intricate details of the soldiers' uniforms and the horses' tack are beautifully captured in this lantern slide, providing a glimpse into the meticulous attention to detail that was an essential part of military life during this period. The muted colors and soft focus of the photograph add to its nostalgic and timeless quality, transporting us back to a bygone era. The 11th Hussars were an integral part of the British military establishment, participating in numerous campaigns and conflicts throughout history. This photograph offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the daily life and traditions of these brave soldiers and their mounts, making it a valuable addition to any collection of military or historical images.
