EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print showcases the Seventh Hussars, a renowned cavalry regiment of the British Army. Created by William Heath and published in 1820, this colored artwork provides a vivid depiction of these esteemed soldiers. Mounted on swift horses, the hussars were known for their agility and played crucial roles in skirmish battles and reconnaissance missions. Originally originating from Hungary, hussar regiments became prevalent across Europe during the mid-18th century. The British Army encountered them during the War of Austrian Succession but only began transforming certain light dragoon regiments into hussars in 1807. The attention to detail in this print highlights the distinctive uniform worn by these brave troops. With their striking attire and impressive weaponry, they exude an aura of strength and valor that is synonymous with military might. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this aquatint is part of an album titled "Military Costume of the British Cavalry". It offers viewers a glimpse into history while honoring those who served their country with unwavering dedication.
