After the minister had read the usual form of prayer for the consecrating of regimental colours, and the Lord's Prayer...Lady Marian Alford presented the Colours to Lieutenants Banks and Adams..."Gentlemen of the South Lincoln Militia, your gallant Colonel has intrusted to my hand the honour ot presenting to you the new Colours for your regiment. May their now spotless folds never be stained but by summer showers, nor faded but by sunshine, and may they long float like the rainbow - a guarantee ot peace in the land. But, should an enemy venture on our shores, and should you be called upon to fight for your hearths and your homes, I am sure, from the spirit you have shown, that, led by your gallant Colonel, you will follow your Colours with loyal enthusiasm, and bring them back with honour'.

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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the year 1854, depicts the Presentation of New Colours to the South Lincoln Militia in the historic town of Grantham. The image captures a poignant moment in time as Lady Marian Alford, elegantly dressed in Victorian attire, presents the newly consecrated colours to Lieutenants Banks and Adams of the regiment. The ceremony took place in the presence of the Reverend, who led the congregation in prayer for the consecration of the regimental colours. Following the prayer, Lady Marian Alford addressed the gathered militiamen with a heartfelt speech. She expressed her hope that the new colours would remain unstained by battle and unfaded by the sun, symbolizing peace in the land. She also expressed her confidence in their loyalty and bravery, should they be called upon to defend their hearths and homes. The South Lincoln Militia, a vital part of the British military during this era, took great pride in their regimental colours, which represented their history, traditions, and unity. The presentation of new colours was a significant event, marking the continuity and renewal of their military legacy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of military traditions and the spirit of patriotism that defined the Victorian era.
