On Parade - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "On parade. Drummers of the 79th. A sketch at Parkhurst, 1873" takes us back in time to a momentous event in British military history. The pencil sketch, created by Elizabeth Thompson (later Lady Butler) in 1873, captures the essence of a vibrant scene that unfolded on the Isle of Wight. In April of that year, Queen Victoria herself presented the renowned 79th Regiment of Foot, also known as Cameron Highlanders, with new colors at Parkhurst. This ceremonial occasion marked an important milestone for the regiment and symbolized their loyalty and dedication to serving their country. Lady Butler's meticulous attention to detail brings this historic moment to life. The drummers stand tall and proud in their traditional Scottish attire while marching together with precision and rhythm. Their drums beat harmoniously under the watchful eyes of officers and fellow soldiers. Through her skilled artistry, Lady Butler not only immortalizes this significant event but also showcases her own talent as an artist. Her pencil strokes effortlessly capture every nuance – from intricate facial expressions to elaborate uniform details – transporting viewers back in time over a century ago. This remarkable print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich military heritage and pays tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our nation's values.
