EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured aquatint print, published by J. Watson in London in 1820, showcases the uniform of the Ninth Hussars, also known as the Ninth (Light) Dragoons (Lancers). The image is a meticulous representation of the regiment's appearance, created by the skilled hand of artist William Heath. The Ninth Hussars, established in 1715, were a light cavalry regiment of the British Army, renowned for their agility and speed on horseback. This print captures the distinctive features of their uniform, including the red coats with white facings, white breeches, and the iconic shabraque, a large rectangular piece of cloth draped over the horse's back and adorned with the regimental crest. The troopers are also depicted wearing bearskin busbies, white gloves, and carrying the regimental sword and carbine. The print is part of an album of 18 aquatints, entitled "Military Costume of the British Cavalry," which provides a comprehensive study of various regiments' uniforms during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the print offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Ninth Hussars and the British military uniforms of the early 19th century. This beautiful piece of historical art is not only a testament to the artistic skill of William Heath and the publishing prowess of J. Watson but also a valuable resource for those interested in military history and the evolution of uniforms in the British Army.
