EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. This evocative image transports us to the Victorian era, specifically the 11th Hussars regiment during the late 1800s. The soldiers, clad in their distinctive uniforms, are seen gathered around a lantern slide projector, their expressions a mix of curiosity and concentration. The 11th Hussars, a renowned British cavalry regiment, were first formed in 1816 and saw action in various conflicts, including the Crimean War and the Boer Wars. However, this photograph, with its soldiers huddled around a lantern slide projector, suggests a more peaceful moment in their history. The soldiers, often referred to as 'Tommies' or 'Tommies' in the British military slang of the time, are seen in their full regalia - the iconic helmet with a crest, red coats, white breeches, and black boots. Their horses, tethered nearby, add to the authenticity of the scene. The lantern slide projector, a common means of entertainment and education during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, is an intriguing addition to the photograph. It is likely that the soldiers are viewing an image of their next deployment or perhaps a map of their current location. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the 11th Hussars during the Victorian period, a time of significant change and growth in the British military. It is a poignant reminder of the human side of history, as we see these soldiers not just as soldiers, but as individuals with their own stories and experiences.
