EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Military Review - The Camp at Chobham," showcases a moment of respite during the grand military spectacle that took place at Chobham Camp in 1853. The troops, dressed in their finest uniforms, are returning to their encampment following a day of field training. The camp, established under the direction of Lord Hardinge and with the support of Prince Albert, was not only a venue for practical military training but also a grand display of British military prowess. Situated on Magnet Hill, Chobham Camp was adorned with marquees and small tents, which served as a banqueting hall and apartments for the royal party and esteemed guests. The camp's popularity soared even before its completion, drawing large crowds on their way to the Ascot Races. The camp's allure extended beyond its military significance, as it became a significant social event of the time. This is evident in the throngs of visitors who gathered to witness the daily proceedings. In response to the camp's immense popularity, numerous artists and printmakers produced pictorial souvenirs, while The Illustrated London News published a daily account of each event. This coloured tinted lithograph by Edmund Walker, after Louis Haghe, is a testament to the grandeur and significance of Chobham Camp during this period in British history.
