A satire on the self-sufficient young cavalry officer who imagines that the mounted arm can accomplish everything by itself. By the late summer of 1854, after The Times had editorialised on the need to extirpate Russian naval power in the Black Sea by attacking Sevastopol, it was generally understood in the Army that the port would be its objective.); eNational Army Museum; English, out of copyright

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

In the Cavalry Camp at Devna (Young Cornet) - A Satirical Glimpse into Military Naivety
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "In the Cavalry Camp at Devna (Young Cornet)" offers a humorous and satirical portrayal of a self-assured young cavalry officer during the Crimean War. Created by William Thomas Markham in 1854, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork captures a lighthearted moment between two comrades. The scene depicts a conversation between two officers in their encampment. The central figure, known as Young Cornet, exudes confidence as he poses an amusing question to his companion: "I say Charley, do you think now that in the event of our being sent to Sebastopol, the Infantry will be required to accompany us?". This witty remark highlights the exaggerated sense of superiority often associated with young cavalrymen who believe they can achieve anything without assistance. As tensions mounted during the Crimean War and plans were made to attack Sevastopol, it became clear that teamwork and coordination among different branches of the military would be essential for success. This painting playfully mocks such overconfidence within British army ranks. Markham's work is part of an album featuring watercolor paintings and sketches by Colonel William Markham and Lieutenant William Thomas Markham. It provides valuable insight into life during this historic conflict while offering viewers a glimpse into military humor from that era. This delightful satirical piece reminds us not only of historical events but also serves as a timeless reminder not to underestimate or overlook collaboration when facing challenges.
