EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking illustration, created by the renowned English artist R. Caton Woodville in 1895, depicts a seated officer from the First Regiment of Life Guards during the late 18th century. The Life Guards, an elite cavalry regiment of the British Army, were established in 1650 and have since been the monarch's personal bodyguard. The officer in this illustration wears the distinctive uniform of the time, including a red coat with blue facings, white waistcoat, and breeches. He is also adorned with the regimental badge, a crown and the letters "LG," on the lapel of his coat. Atop his head sits a bicorne hat, tilted to the side, displaying the regimental cockade of red, white, and blue. The officer is shown seated on his horse, with a regal and composed expression, conveying the pride and discipline that was expected of the members of the First Regiment of Life Guards. The intricate detail in the illustration, from the textures of the uniform to the veins on the horse's hooves, highlights the skill and artistry of Caton Woodville. This illustration, which dates back to 1895, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the First Regiment of Life Guards, a regiment that has served the British monarchy for over three centuries. The image captures the essence of the military, the 1890s, and the Victorian era, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical military art.
