EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Review of the Light Horse Volunteers of London and Westminster, 1798: A Regal Encounter on Wimbledon Common" This evocative image, created by the renowned English artist Thomas Rowlandson and published by Henry Angelo in 1798, captures a significant moment in the history of the Light Horse Volunteers of London and Westminster. The Light Horse Volunteers were a citizen militia formed to defend the city against potential threats, particularly from the French Revolution. In this scene, we witness the volunteers under the command of Colonel Herries being reviewed by King George III on Wimbledon Common. The monarch, dressed in his regal attire, is seen on horseback, his gaze fixed intently on the troops below. The volunteers, proudly displaying their uniforms and weapons, return the king's gaze with unwavering loyalty and discipline. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this coloured aquatint bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the late 18th century. The lush greenery of Wimbledon Common provides a picturesque backdrop, with the sun casting dappled shadows over the volunteers and the king. The atmosphere is one of unity and strength, as the volunteers stand ready to protect their city and their monarch. This print offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insight into the military landscape of the time and the role of citizen militias in defending the realm. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture history and preserve it for future generations.
