Painting Description
"A Private of the 18th Light Dragoons 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. This work is part of a larger collection that aimed to document the uniforms and regalia of the British Army during the early 19th century, a period marked by the Napoleonic Wars and significant military engagements.
Charles Hamilton Smith, the artist behind the series, was an accomplished military officer, naturalist, and illustrator. His attention to detail and firsthand experience with military life provided an authentic and precise depiction of the uniforms and equipment of the time. The illustration of the 18th Light Dragoons Hussars is particularly significant as it captures the distinct uniform of this light cavalry regiment, known for its role in reconnaissance and skirmishing.
The engraving by J.C. Stadler enhances the visual impact of Smith's work, bringing to life the vibrant colors and intricate details of the hussar's uniform, which included a shako (military hat), a pelisse (a short fur-edged jacket), and elaborate braiding. The series was well-received for its accuracy and artistry, serving as a valuable reference for military historians and enthusiasts.
Published by Colnaghi and Co., a prominent London print seller of the time, the series "Costumes of the Army of the British Empire, according to the last regulations 1812" is a testament to the collaboration between artist, engraver, and publisher in documenting military history. The collection remains an important historical record and a fine example of early 19th-century military art.
