EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tarleton pattern helmet, specifically associated with the Wiltshire Yeomanry Cavalry around 1800. Crafted from sleek black leather and adorned with exquisite brass mountings, this helmet exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The addition of pristine white plumes adds a touch of grandeur to its already impressive appearance. Named after Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Banastre Tarleton, who led the British Legion during the American War of Independence, this particular design quickly gained recognition for its striking aesthetic. Renowned as one of the most attractive helmets of its time, it even caught the attention and admiration of foreign forces. The National Army Museum in London proudly houses this remarkable artifact that serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. This print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by the talented photographers at Bridgeman Images. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when cavalry regiments donned these magnificent helmets while charging fearlessly into battle. It is a visual reminder not only of military history but also of how artistry can be found even within utilitarian objects like helmets.
