The New Costumes of the Guards - A Glimpse into 19th Century Military Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The New Costumes of the Guards" an engraving from the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, offers a fascinating insight into the diverse uniforms worn by various ranks within the British military. Intricately detailed, this illustration was originally featured in the Illustrated Times on March 7,1857. It captures soldiers from different regiments and divisions such as grenadiers, Scots Fusiliers, and Coldstreams. Each figure is depicted in their distinct attire - ranging from full dress to fatigue dress and undress. From left to right, we see a sergeant major proudly displaying his rank insignia while standing next to a corporal adorned with intricate details on his uniform. Behind them are officers dressed impeccably in their full ceremonial regalia. The scene also includes other notable figures like an ensign carrying the regiment's flag and a color sergeant donning vibrant colors that symbolize his role as guardian of honor. In contrast, there is a night sentinel patrolling diligently in plain clothing for stealth purposes. Drums and bagpipes add musicality to this visual spectacle while reminding us of these soldiers' dual roles as warriors and entertainers during parades or barrack guard duties. This remarkable print not only highlights historical military fashion but also pays tribute to those who served with dedication and pride. It serves as both an educational resource
