EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Grenadiers of the XLIID or Royal and XCII, or Gordon Highlanders," is an exquisite representation of the British military elite during the early 19th century. The image, created by J.C. Stadler after the meticulous observations of renowned artist and ethnographer Charles Hamilton Smith, was published by Colnaghi and Co between 1812 and 1815. The Grenadiers of the XLIID, also known as the Royal and XCII, or Gordon Highlanders, were an infantry regiment of the British Army, renowned for their distinctive uniforms and disciplined demeanor. This print offers an intriguing glimpse into the visual language of the British military establishment during this era, providing an invaluable record of the regiment's uniforms and equipment as prescribed by the army regulations of 1812. The Grenadiers are depicted here in their full regalia, with their bearskin caps, red coats, white facings, and black waistcoats and breeches. Each soldier carries a musket, bayonet, and a knapsack slung over his shoulder. The precision and detail in the print are truly remarkable, from the intricate folds of their uniforms to the individual expressions on their faces. This work of art is not only a testament to the artistic prowess of J.C. Stadler and Charles Hamilton Smith but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective into the world of the British military during the early 19th century. The Grenadiers of the XLIID or Royal and XCII, or Gordon Highlanders, stand proudly in this print, embodying the strength, discipline, and tradition of the British Army.
