The illustration captures the essence of a British infantry officer in full marching order during the early 19th century, a period marked by the Napoleonic Wars. The officer is depicted in a highly detailed uniform, which includes a shako adorned with a plume, a red coat with elaborate gold braiding, white breeches, and black gaiters. The attention to detail in the uniform not only reflects the regulations of 1812 but also provides a vivid representation of the military fashion and the hierarchical distinctions within the British Army at the time.

His background as a soldier and his keen interest in military history enabled him to produce illustrations that were both authentic and aesthetically pleasing. The engravings by J.C. Stadler further enhance the quality of the illustrations, bringing out the intricate details and vibrant colors of the uniforms.
Published by Colnaghi and Co., a prominent London-based print seller and publisher, the series was aimed at both military enthusiasts and the general public. It served as an important visual record of the British Army's uniforms and was likely used as a reference by military historians and costume designers.
