Painting Description
"Yeoman of the King's Guard" is an illustration from the book "Costume of Great Britain," which was published by William Miller in 1805. The work is part of a series created by the English artist William Henry Pyne (1769–1843), who was known for his detailed and vivid depictions of British social life and occupations. Pyne's "Costume of Great Britain" is a comprehensive study of the various costumes and uniforms worn by individuals from different walks of life across the nation during the early 19th century.
The illustration "Yeoman of the King's Guard" specifically portrays a member of the Yeomen of the Guard, a historic British bodyguard which dates back to 1485, when they were formed by King Henry VII. Also known as the "Beefeaters," the Yeomen of the Guard are one of the oldest royal bodyguards and ceremonial guardians in the world, and they are distinct from the Yeomen Warders who guard the Tower of London.
In Pyne's depiction, the Yeoman is shown in the traditional uniform, which typically includes a red and gold tunic, black hat, and white ruff, reflecting the ceremonial garb that has become iconic over the centuries. The illustration not only serves as a historical record of the attire of the Yeoman of the King's Guard during the early 1800s but also provides insight into the pageantry and tradition of the British monarchy.
William Henry Pyne's work is significant for its attention to detail and its role in documenting British cultural heritage. "Yeoman of the King's Guard" is a fine example of his dedication to capturing the essence of British society through costume and is an important visual resource for historians and enthusiasts of British history and fashion.
