EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a proposal for the uniform and equipment of a new corps of lancers in the British Army, as illustrated in 1813. In the image, a lancer stands proudly with his back facing the viewer, his lance resting on his right shoulder, and his sabre at his side. The lancer wears a distinctive blue jacket with gold and yellow facings, a red waist sash, and a green helmet adorned with a yellow plume. His gloves are also visible, adding a touch of elegance to his military attire. The lancer's most notable piece of equipment is his lance, which is held with great precision and pride. The spear's shaft is topped with a large, curved iron spearhead, and a gold and yellow pennon flies from the tip. The lancer's sabre, which hangs from his belt, is also a symbol of his deadly prowess on the battlefield. The corps of lancers was a new addition to the British Army, and this proposed uniform and equipment were designed to instill fear in the hearts of the enemy. The lancers' distinctive uniform, with its bold colors and ornate details, would have made them a formidable sight on the battlefield. The corps was also equipped with flags, which can be seen in the background of the print, adding an air of grandeur and unity to the troops. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the military history of the British Army, and the proposed uniform and equipment of the lancers corps are a testament to the attention to detail and innovation that went into creating a formidable fighting force. The lancers would go on to see action in various conflicts, including the Peninsular War and the Crimean War, and their legacy continues to be celebrated in the annals of military history.
