Who Comes Here - A Grenadier
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating coloured aquatint print, created around 1850, depicting an engaging scene between a Grenadier Guardsman and an innkeeper. This evocative image is part of a larger set published for "The Nursery Rhymes of Old England." The Grenadier Guardsman, dressed in his iconic scarlet uniform with a bearskin hat, is shown in the foreground, locked in a heated argument with the landlord of the inn. The landlord, with a stern expression and a thick mustache, points towards the door, indicating the Grenadier's imminent ejection. The Grenadier, with a determined look in his eyes, clenches his fists, seemingly unwilling to back down from the confrontation. The central cartouche of the print features the inscription of the related nursery rhyme, adding an intriguing layer to the scene. The rhyme, which is not explicitly stated in the image, adds a playful and mysterious element to the interaction between the two characters. The intricate details of the print, from the textures of the Grenadier's uniform to the intricacies of the inn's interior, showcase the exceptional skill of the printmaker. The use of colour adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually stunning and historically significant piece. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a Grenadier Guardsman and the interactions he might have had with the local community. It is a captivating reminder of the rich history and tradition of the Grenadier Guards, a regiment that has been an integral part of British military history for over three centuries.
