"The Charge of the Light Brigade led by Lord Cardigan, illustration for Glorious Battles of English History by Major C.H. Wylly, 1920s" is a historical illustration by the British artist Henry A. (Harry) Payne. Created in the 1920s, this artwork was designed to accompany a section in the book "Glorious Battles of English History" authored by Major C.H. Wylly. The illustration depicts the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade, a military action involving the British light cavalry led by Lord James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, during the Battle of Balaclava on October 25, 1854, in the Crimean War.

Payne's work is characterized by its attention to historical detail and its ability to convey the drama and tragedy of the charge, which became emblematic of the valor and futility of war. The Charge of the Light Brigade has been immortalized in various forms of art and literature, most notably in the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which captured the heroism and the heavy casualties suffered due to miscommunication among the British commanders.

Harry Payne was known for his military and ceremonial subjects, and his illustrations often graced the pages of historical and commemorative books in the early 20th century. His work on "Glorious Battles of English History" contributed to the visual narrative of Britain's military heritage, and this particular illustration stands as a testament to the artist's skill in portraying one of the most famous and ill-fated actions in British military history. The illustration not only serves as an artistic representation but also as an educational tool, helping to bring to life the events described in Major Wylly's historical account.
