EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created by J. Hamilton and published in Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities respecting a History of the English Army," showcases an intricately detailed image of a soldier's attire and weaponry from the early 19th century. The soldier is depicted wearing a buff coat, which is a short, waist-length jacket made of wool or linen, typically in a tan or buff color. The coat is adorned with buttons and features a turnback cape at the shoulders. The soldier also wears a buff belt, which is a wide leather belt worn around the waist to hold the sword and other equipment. The belt is decorated with a series of metal studs and a buckle. The soldier's right hand holds the hilt of a toledo sword, which is a type of Spanish-made sword with a curved blade and a distinctive hilt. The hilt is made of gilt-silver and features intricate designs and decorations. The sword's blade and scabbard are also depicted in the image. The soldier's left hand is shown holding a buff arm-piece and glove. The arm-piece is a protective piece of fabric or leather that covers the upper part of the arm, while the glove is worn to protect the hand while gripping the sword. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the military uniform and weaponry of the English army during the early 19th century. The intricate details and high-quality craftsmanship of the copperplate engraving make it a valuable historical artifact and an important addition to any collection of military history or antique prints.
