The Volunteer Review, Odd Notes by our Roving Artist
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that transports us back to the 19th century. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould, this artwork captures the essence of an army convocation during a volunteer review. In this bustling scene, we see a myriad of elements coming together. The artist skillfully portrays the military fellows awaiting their turn for inspection while remaining in good spirits. A friendly Boer can be seen engaging in conversation with one of them, highlighting the camaraderie among soldiers from different backgrounds. The roving artist himself is depicted capturing various scenes and characters within the crowd. His sketchbook serves as his trusty companion as he seeks out interesting subjects to immortalize on paper. As our eyes wander through the print, we notice small details like a warm corner where troops gather and chat, a railway drinking trough providing relief from the heat, and even non-pressmen trying to catch glimpses amidst the madding crowd. Notable figures such as Sir Garnet and Queen Victoria's household enclosure add further depth to this historical tableau. The presence of naval officers and attache also hints at a broader representation of armed forces united under one cause. "The Volunteer Review" engraving offers us a glimpse into an era when loyalty and dedication were paramount values within military circles. It reminds us of how art can capture not only moments but also emotions that transcend time itself.
