"A soldier of the Royal Horse Guards, from Costumes of the Army of the British Empire, according to the last regulations 1812, engraved by J.C. Stadler published by Colnaghi and Co. 1812-15" is an exquisite illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, a renowned British artist and military officer. This work is part of a larger series titled "Costumes of the Army of the British Empire," which meticulously documents the uniforms and attire of various regiments within the British Army during the early 19th century. The series was published between 1812 and 1815 by Colnaghi and Co., a prominent London-based print publisher known for its high-quality art reproductions.

Charles Hamilton Smith, born in 1776, was not only an artist but also a soldier and natural historian. His military background provided him with an intimate understanding of the subject matter, allowing him to capture the intricate details and authenticity of military uniforms with great precision. The engravings were executed by J.C. Stadler, a distinguished engraver of the period, whose skillful work brought Smith's detailed drawings to life with remarkable clarity and depth.

The illustration of a soldier of the Royal Horse Guards is particularly notable for its attention to detail and historical accuracy. The Royal Horse Guards, also known as the Blues, were an elite cavalry regiment of the British Army, distinguished by their striking blue uniforms and ceremonial role as part of the Household Cavalry. This depiction showcases the soldier in full regalia, highlighting the elaborate design and craftsmanship of the uniform, which includes elements such as the ornate helmet, the richly adorned tunic, and the distinctive cuirass.

The publication of this series coincided with a period of significant military activity for the British Empire, including the Napoleonic Wars. As such, these illustrations not only served as a visual record of military dress but also as a reflection of the broader historical and cultural context of the time. The works of Charles Hamilton Smith and J.C. Stadler remain valuable resources for historians and enthusiasts of military history, offering a window into the sartorial splendor and martial traditions of the early 19th-century British Army.
