His Royal Highness Frederick, Duke of York, c1820s. Artist: J Wright
His Royal Highness Frederick, Duke of York, c1820s. Engraving after a painting. Prince Frederick (1763-1827) was the second son of George III and heir to his elder brother George IV. His military command in an ill-fated campaign in the Netherlands inspired the rhyme The Grand Old Duke of York. Subsequently, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army from 1795, he instituted a range of reforms that put the army in good stead for the wars to come, including founding the military college at Sandhurst in 1802

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases His Royal Highness Frederick, Duke of York, in the 1820s. The artist, J Wright, beautifully captures the essence of this prominent figure in British history. Prince Frederick was not only known for his royal lineage as the second son of George III but also for his military prowess. The engraving is a testament to Prince Frederick's significant contributions as Commander-in-Chief of the Army from 1795. Despite an ill-fated campaign in the Netherlands that inspired the famous nursery rhyme "The Grand Old Duke of York" he implemented crucial reforms that fortified the army for future conflicts. One notable achievement was establishing Sandhurst Military College in 1802, which played a pivotal role in training generations of officers. In this portrait, we see a distinguished man with an air of authority and determination. The image reflects both his regal status and military background. It serves as a reminder of Prince Frederick's unwavering dedication to his country during times of war. As we delve into this historical photograph, it becomes evident why His Royal Highness left such an indelible mark on Britain's military landscape. This print is not just a visual representation; it encapsulates an era defined by warfare and reform—a testament to one man's commitment to shaping Britain's armed forces into what they are today.
