Painting Description
"A Sergeant and Privates of the 87th, or Prince of Wales's Own Irish Regiment on Service" is an evocative print from the series "Costumes of the Army of the British Empire, according to the last regulations 1812." This series was engraved by J.C. Stadler and published by Colnaghi and Co. between 1812 and 1815, with the original illustrations created by Charles Hamilton Smith. The work is a significant historical document that provides a vivid visual representation of the British military uniforms and the regimental distinctions during the early 19th century, a period marked by the Napoleonic Wars.
Charles Hamilton Smith, a British artist, soldier, and antiquarian, is renowned for his detailed and accurate depictions of military costumes. His collaboration with J.C. Stadler, a prominent engraver of the time, resulted in a series of prints that are not only artistically impressive but also of great historical value. Stadler's skillful engraving techniques brought out the intricate details of Smith's illustrations, capturing the textures and colors of the military attire with remarkable precision.
The 87th Regiment of Foot, also known as the Prince of Wales's Own Irish Regiment, was an infantry regiment in the British Army. The regiment saw extensive service during the Napoleonic Wars, including notable engagements in the Peninsular War. The print "A Sergeant and Privates of the 87th, or Prince of Wales's Own Irish Regiment on Service" specifically highlights the regiment's distinctive uniforms, which were characterized by their green facings and the Prince of Wales's feathers insignia.
This print, like others in the series, served multiple purposes. It was a practical guide for military tailors and officers, ensuring uniformity and adherence to regulations. Additionally, it functioned as a piece of propaganda, showcasing the disciplined and well-equipped nature of the British Army to both domestic and international audiences.
The publication by Colnaghi and Co., a leading art dealership and publisher of the time, ensured that these prints reached a wide audience, including military personnel, collectors, and the general public. Today, these prints are valuable resources for historians and enthusiasts of military history, providing insights into the uniforms, equipment, and regimental culture of the British Army during a pivotal era in European history.
