Painted by Edward Matthew Ward, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 30.3x35.7 cm and is proudly displayed at the National Army Museum in London. The scene depicted showcases a bustling military base nestled amidst a picturesque copse of trees. The encampment, with its rows of tents stretching as far as the eye can see, exudes an air of purpose and discipline. It is evident that Chobham Camp was not only a practice site for soldiers but also attracted numerous curious spectators who were drawn to witness this historic event. Ward's attention to detail brings every element of this painting to life - from the meticulously rendered tents to the vibrant colors that illuminate both nature and human activity within the camp. The composition captures both the grandeur and mundanity of military life; it is a testament to Ward's skill as an artist. This print serves as a visual reminder of our nation's rich history and pays homage to those who served their country during times of conflict.
