1710 Cavalry Cent Foot Horseman Infantry Uniforms
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dated 1710, depicts a British foot soldier and horseman in their respective uniforms of the early 18th century. The foot soldier, clad in a red coat with white lapels and cuffs, wears a tricorn hat adorned with a cockade and a white belt with a brass buckle. His musket rests on his shoulder, and a bayonet is attached, signifying his role as an infantryman. The horseman, wearing a blue coat with red facings and a tricorn hat, is dressed as a cavalryman. His boots are high and leather, and he wears a red waistcoat and white cravat. His horse is outfitted with a breastplate and a set of armor for its head and legs. The horseman carries a sabre and a pair of pistols, indicating his readiness for combat. This image provides a glimpse into the military dress of the British army during the early 18th century, a time of significant military expansion and conflict. The red coats and blue coats, along with the tricorn hats and white belts, became iconic symbols of the British military during this period. The uniforms served not only a practical purpose, but also a psychological one, instilling fear in the enemy and fostering a sense of unity and identity among the soldiers. The intricate details of the uniforms and the lifelike portrayal of the foot soldier and horseman make this print an invaluable resource for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of the British military during the 18th century.
