EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Volunteer Review at Portsmouth, the Sortie from Hilsea Lines" takes us back to a significant moment in military history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures the essence of a dramatic event that unfolded on April 25,1868. In this scene, we witness a grand military review taking place at Portsmouth's Hilsea Lines. The image showcases soldiers and volunteers gathered together for inspection and preparation before embarking on a sortie. The attention to detail is remarkable as it highlights the intricate uniforms worn by these brave men. The composition draws our eyes towards a magnificent bridge spanning over calm waters. This bridge serves as both a symbolic and physical connection between the troops stationed at Hilsea Lines and their destination beyond. It represents unity, strength, and determination in the face of adversity. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported to Hampshire's coastal town of Portsmouth. We can almost hear the sounds of marching feet and feel the anticipation in the air as these dedicated individuals prepare themselves for battle. "The Volunteer Review at Portsmouth" offers us not only an insight into military strategy but also reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who serve their country selflessly.
