EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Uniforms of the Portuguese Army, 1800s," offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse and intricately designed uniforms worn by various branches of the Portuguese military during the 1800s. The image features an infantry officer in a red tunic with gold braid and a bearskin hat, an infantry officer in a green tunic with yellow facings and a shako hat, a Lisbon police guard in a blue tunic with red epaulettes and a bearskin hat, and an armed peasant from the Algarve region wearing a simple white shirt and a red sash. In the background, Portuguese soldiers in French Dragoon and Guards uniforms can be seen, reflecting the influence of the Napoleonic Wars on Portuguese military fashion. The meticulous detail and vibrant colours of this engraving, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," provide a captivating visual record of Portuguese military history and fashion during this era. The uniforms of the Portuguese Army, from infantry to cavalry, legion to regiment, were an essential aspect of the nation's identity and played a crucial role in its military history, particularly during the Peninsula War.
