EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Short-tailed coatee worn by Cornets Brown, who served in the esteemed Wiltshire Yeomanry around 1799. The coatee, made of exquisite fabric, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of British military attire during the late 18th century. The Wiltshire Yeomanry was established in 1794 as a defense force against potential invasion during the tumultuous French Revolutionary War. By 1796, it comprised troops from various towns including Devizes, Chippenham, Swindon, and Marlborough. Not only did they protect Britain's shores but also played an essential role in quelling popular disturbances. One notable event that exemplified their dedication occurred during the unrest following the rejection of the 1830 Reform Act. The regiment restored order amidst rioting in Bristol, earning them great recognition for their service. In fact, as a mark of distinction for their contributions and bravery, they were bestowed with the title "Royal" just one year later. This remarkable artifact not only represents an important piece of military fashion but also symbolizes centuries-old traditions upheld by brave individuals like Cornets Brown within this renowned regiment. Preserved at London's National Army Museum and captured beautifully through this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, it serves as a visual reminder of our nation's history and honors those who dedicated themselves to safeguarding our land.
