EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fitzroy HJ Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, a distinguished British soldier from the 19th century. Lord Raglan's military career was marked by remarkable achievements and sacrifices. He served on Wellington's staff during the Napoleonic Wars and fought valiantly at the Battle of Waterloo, where he tragically lost his sword arm. Despite this debilitating injury, Lord Raglan rose to become Commander-in-Chief of British troops in the Crimean War. It was under his command that the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade took place at Balaclava in 1854. This iconic moment in history is forever associated with Lord Raglan's name. In this portrait engraving, we see a resolute leader adorned in his military uniform, complete with epaulettes symbolizing his rank and authority. The curtain backdrop adds an air of aristocracy to the image while emphasizing Lord Raglan's position as a prominent figure within British society. The photograph also serves as a reminder of both the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers during times of war. Lord Raglan's amputation is evidence not only of physical wounds but also represents countless others who have suffered for their country throughout history. Overall, this print captures an important chapter in military history while honoring one man's extraordinary journey from battlefield heroism to leadership on a grand scale.
