The Honourable Artillery Company, also known as the HAC, is a prestigious and historic military organization that has played a significant role in British history. From its impressive reviews before the Queen at Windsor to hosting extravagant events like the Regimental Ball and Cigarette Concerts, this company has always been held in high regard. One lithograph captures the grandeur of The Review of the Honourable Artillery Company before the Queen at Windsor. It showcases their impeccable discipline and precision as they march along the line while Her Majesty observes with admiration. This moment symbolizes their commitment to duty and loyalty. Another engraving depicts The Return of the Guns of the Honourable Artillery Company to their Head-Quarters in Finsbury. It showcases their strength and resilience after fulfilling their duties elsewhere. These guns represent not only firepower but also tradition, reminding us of their long-standing service to protect our nation. In 1885, during an elegant Regimental Ball, members gathered together for an evening filled with camaraderie and celebration. The chromolitho image beautifully captures this event's splendor, showcasing officers dressed impeccably in uniform alongside distinguished guests who have come to honor them. The Honourable Artillery Company is not just about formal occasions; it also embraces community engagement. In one lithograph titled Taking the Queens Shilling, we witness Lord Mayor enrolling Men into this esteemed company – a testament to its reputation as a place where brave individuals willingly serve our country. Furthermore, HRH Prince of Wales inspecting Massachusetts Artillery Company demonstrates international connections forged by HAC. This litho highlights how even across borders these honorable soldiers are recognized for their excellence. Throughout history, there have been numerous royal visits that showcase appreciation for HAC's contributions. One such visit captured through an engraving shows The Royal Visit to City - a testament to how highly regarded this institution is within society. Not limited solely on land engagements, the it also demonstrates its prowess at sea.
