EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the resolute gaze of Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, an esteemed English soldier. Lord Raglan played a significant role in the Crimean War (1853-1856) as he commanded the British army with great valor and determination. Illustrated by Robert Wilson for The Life & Times of Queen Victoria, Vol II, this engraving showcases Lord Raglan's military uniform and his commanding presence. Although celebrated for his victory at the battle of Alma, it was also during this war that Lord Raglan made a fateful decision - ordering the infamous suicidal charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava. This ill-fated event has become synonymous with military blunders throughout history. In this monochromatic portrait, we see a man who embodies both strength and complexity. His stoic expression hints at the weighty responsibility he carried as a field marshal leading troops into battle. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to ponder on Lord Raglan's strategic brilliance alongside his tragic misjudgment. The print collector responsible for preserving this historical gem allows us to delve into an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory. It serves as a reminder of how even great leaders can be fallible and how their actions shape history's narrative.
