EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Caricature of Infantry Subaltern holding regimental colours" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of British military life. Created by an anonymous English artist and published by Frederick Warne & Co. , this coloured engraving showcases the wit and humor prevalent in Army and Navy Drolleries. In this caricature, we see a young infantry subaltern proudly holding his regimental colours high above his head. The exaggerated features and comical expressions add a touch of whimsy to the scene, making it both amusing and endearing. Surrounding him are women who seem captivated by his presence, perhaps symbolizing the admiration that soldiers often received from society during that era. The artist skillfully captures not only the essence of military pride but also highlights the role played by these brave men in protecting their country's honor. The flag held aloft represents loyalty, unity, and sacrifice – values deeply cherished within any army. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how cartoons can convey profound messages while entertaining viewers simultaneously. It serves as a testament to the artistic talent present during those times when engravings were widely appreciated for their ability to bring stories to life. Preserved in private collections today, this print continues to evoke curiosity about historical events and societal norms surrounding Britain's military past.
