Painting Description
"A Private of the 15th, or King's Hussars, from Costumes of the Army of the British Empire, according to the last regulations 1812" is a notable illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, engraved by J.C. Stadler, and published by Colnaghi and Co. between 1812 and 1815. The work is part of a larger series that aimed to document the uniforms and regalia of the British Army during a period of significant military engagement, including the Napoleonic Wars. Charles Hamilton Smith, a military officer, artist, and naturalist, meticulously captured the details of military dress, contributing to the historical record of British military uniforms.
The illustration of the private from the 15th, or King's Hussars, is particularly significant as it represents the uniform of a light cavalry regiment known for its distinctive and elaborate attire. The 15th Hussars were involved in several key battles during the Napoleonic Wars, and their uniform, with its ornate braiding, shako headgear, and pelisse (a short fur-edged jacket), reflects the flamboyant style of hussar regiments of the era.
Smith's work serves as an important primary source for historians and enthusiasts of military history, offering insights into the visual aspects of the British Army's appearance and the evolution of military fashion. The series, including the depiction of the 15th Hussars, is valued not only for its artistic merit but also for its accuracy and attention to detail, which has made it a reference point for the study of British military uniforms of the early 19th century.
