European Military Prints



Thomas. ROWLANDSON,   The Loyal Volunteers of London & Environs, Infantry & Cavalry, in their respective Uniforms. Representing the whole of the Manual, Platoon & Funeral Exercise in 89 plates. Designed and etched by T. Rowlandson and originally published in London during 1798-99 by Ackermann. The volunteer corps were established as a direct response to the perceived imminent danger of invasion by Napoleon's forces. The phenomenon of the volunteer corps arose as a response to the perceived imminent danger of invasion by the French Napoleonic forces. Rudolph Ackermann notes in his introduction that “At this moment, the enemy had advanced their best regulated legions to the shores of the British Channel; and for the determined purpose of spreading through our land such miseries as have already rendered wretched their own”. The British response was immediate and defiant, and Ackermann goes on to note that when the Loyal Volunteers of London were inspected by the King on 21st June 1799 the roll-call of volunteers, manning 11 different positions, totalled just over 12,200 men. The present work serves as a record of that overwhelming show of loyalty, as well as of the uniforms of all the main volunteer forces.  In addition, and importantly, Rowlandson pictures each individual in a particular drill position, the name and details of which are given in the engraved text beneath each figure. The corresponding adjacent text sheet(not present)  gave a brief history and description of the composition of the corps and lists the commanding officers. One of the greatest of all military costume books,  where the King convinced men to buy their own uniform etc to drill and protect London - a time of great national as Britain  was under threat of invasion from France. Paper Size Minimum : 250 x 330mm Print Size: 205 x 255
