EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1896, capturing a moment of intense action during a skirmishing display. The focus of the image is a dismounted lancer, Rough-rider Corporal Long, belonging to the esteemed 17th Lancers regiment of the British Army. With his rifle firmly in hand, he takes aim with precision and determination. The scene showcases the remarkable bond between man and horse as we catch a glimpse of his loyal steed standing steadfastly by his side. Both soldier and animal exude strength and resilience, embodying the spirit of the cavalryman in 19th century Britain. In this snapshot from history, we witness an era defined by warfare and military prowess. The Victorian age was marked by significant advancements in weaponry and tactics, which are hinted at through this striking portrayal. Through its monochrome aesthetic, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. It serves as a reminder of those who dedicated their lives to serving their country on horseback – brave men like Rough-rider Corporal Long who fearlessly faced battles head-on. Preserved by Gregory & Co. , this historical artifact allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind its creation but also offers insight into an important chapter in military history.
