EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the 19th century's late Victorian era, transports us back in time to the grandeur and pageantry of the British monarchy during the reign of Queen Victoria. The image showcases the Royal Horse Guards, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, proudly standing in formation against the backdrop of London's historic landscape. The soldiers, clad in their iconic scarlet tunics and bearskin hats, exude an air of discipline and professionalism. Among them, a trumpeter, his brass instrument raised to his lips, prepares to sound the call to attention. The regiment's horses, impeccably groomed and poised, mirror the soldiers' readiness. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Royal Horse Guards, an elite division that has served the British monarchy since the late 17th century. The regiment's primary role was to provide a mounted escort for the monarch, ensuring their safety and maintaining order during public appearances. The photograph's warm, sepia tones and intricate detailing evoke the charm and nostalgia of the Edwardian era. The lantern slide format, a popular means of projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds to the image's historical significance. This piece of history is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British military during the Victorian period.
