EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph print captures the regal presence of a Major of the Royal Scots Greys, an esteemed officer of the British Army's 2nd Dragoons, in the early 20th century. Dressed in the traditional stable dress uniform of the Royal Scots Greys, the Major exudes an air of authority and tradition. The uniform, complete with the distinctive tall busby hat adorned with a plume, is accessorized with a red sash and a belt adorned with a silver buckle and a whip. The most notable feature of this portrait is the array of medal ribbons worn on the Major's chest. These ribbons signify his valor and dedication to duty, having been awarded for his service in various campaigns. The ribbons represent the Queens Sudan Medal, Khedives Sudan Medal, Queens South Africa Medal, and Kings South Africa Medal. Although the actual medals are not worn with the stable dress uniform, the ribbons serve as a proud reminder of the Major's military accomplishments. The Major's expression is serious yet confident, reflecting the discipline and focus required of a cavalryman in the British Army. The background is simple, with a plain wall serving as a backdrop, allowing the Major and his uniform to take center stage. The painting, executed by renowned artist Malcolm Greensmith in 1902, masterfully captures the essence of this historical figure and the rich military history of the Royal Scots Greys.
