EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Officers learning the New System of Signalling Orders" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into military training during that era. The image showcases a group of officers engrossed in their lesson on the innovative system of signalling orders. With focused expressions and attentive postures, these officers are determined to master this new method swiftly. Their eyes fixated on their instructor, they absorb every detail with precision and dedication. The importance of quick and accurate communication is evident as they learn various signals for manoeuvring - advance, extend, retire - ensuring seamless coordination among troops. The significance of this training becomes even more apparent when we notice the absence of an enemy presence in the scene. These officers understand that preparation is key; by honing their skills now, they can react swiftly when faced with real-life combat situations. Intriguingly, amidst all the seriousness lies a subtle moment captured within this print: some officers lie down while others halt or stand tall. This diversity in positions hints at infantry drill signals being taught simultaneously alongside signalling orders. As we delve into this historical artwork from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection's Private Collection, it serves as a reminder not only of how far military tactics have evolved but also highlights timeless values such as discipline and adaptability that remain crucial for any army's success today.
