EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled 'Westminster Cavalry' by Thomas Rowlandson, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and patriotic spirit of London during the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. Dated circa 1799, this print is a part of a larger volume of 86 aquatints entitled 'Loyal Volunteers of London and Environs', published by Rudolph Ackermann in Strand, London. The image showcases the Westminster Cavalry, a local militia formed to defend against potential threats from the French Revolution. The cavalrymen are depicted in their regal uniforms, proudly displaying their weapons and banners, exuding a sense of loyalty and determination. The horses, too, seem to mirror the energy and readiness of their riders. Thomas Rowlandson, a renowned English artist, expertly captured the essence of this moment in history through his masterful use of aquatint technique. The intricate details and rich colors bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the streets of London during a time when the city's citizens were united in their efforts to protect their homeland. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the people during the Wars of the French Revolution. It is a testament to their unwavering commitment to home defense and their unyielding spirit in the face of adversity.
