This striking full-face portrait captures the regal presence and unwavering gaze of a Life Guardsman during the Royal Tournament of 1961. The annual military spectacle, held at Earls Court Exhibition Building in London from May 31 to June 17, showcased the skills and discipline of various military units from across the British Isles. The Life Guards, one of the oldest and most prestigious regiments in the British Army, have been a prominent feature of the Royal Tournament since its inception in 1891. This Life Guardsman, dressed in his full ceremonial uniform, exudes an air of pride and professionalism as he stands tall and ready for inspection. The portrait, published by the Royal Tournament in 1961, was created by the renowned illustrator TEC (Thomas E. Coward). TEC was a prolific artist whose work appeared in numerous publications, including the Daily Express and the Daily Mirror. His illustrations for the Royal Tournament captured the excitement and energy of the event, making them highly collectible and sought after by military history enthusiasts. The inscription on the print, "Royal Tournament Earls Court Exhibition Building May 31 to June 17," serves as a reminder of the historical significance of this image and the special moment in time it represents. The Life Guardsman's unwavering gaze and steadfast demeanor continue to inspire awe and respect, making this a truly captivating and iconic image from the Royal Tournament of 1961.
