EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Day with the 'Remount' Committee, purchasing Army Horses at Redhill, Edgware" artist Alfred Chantrey Corbould takes us back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicts a bustling day of horse recruitment for the military, as the Remount Committee carefully selects and purchases new steeds. The image showcases a diverse array of horses, each representing various ages and breeds. The committee members meticulously inspect every detail, ensuring that they acquire only the finest animals fit for service. Matching pairs trot past them as they assess their suitability for artillery or other roles within the army. As we observe this snapshot from 1878, it becomes evident that age is not an obstacle when it comes to recruiting these loyal companions. Both young recruits and aging veterans are given equal consideration based on their standard height and overall health. Located in Redhill, Edgware, this gathering serves as a reminder of the meticulous process involved in selecting horses for military duty. It highlights the dedication of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure that our armed forces were equipped with reliable and capable mounts. This print offers us a glimpse into an era where raw horsepower played an essential role in warfare strategy. It celebrates both the beauty and strength of these magnificent creatures while honoring those who dedicated themselves to finding exceptional additions to our nation's cavalry.
