EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Grenadier cap worn by an officer of the 43rd Regiment of Foot in the mid-18th century. The intricate embroidery, executed with metal and silk thread on velvet and wool, highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the English School during this period. The focal point of this splendid cap is undoubtedly the emblem of the house of Hanover, which was also the Royal family at that time. Depicting a white horse, symbolizing strength and nobility, it is accompanied by a motto that translates to "A Nor do difficulties deter". This powerful phrase reflects the resilience and determination embodied by officers who proudly wore this distinctive headgear. Interestingly, prior to 1751 when a Royal Warrant prohibited such practices, Colonels had free reign over customizing their regiment's grenadier caps. They could embellish them with any device or badge they desired. This allowed for personalization while still maintaining unity within each unit. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this remarkable artifact not only serves as a testament to British military history but also offers insight into fashion trends and symbolism prevalent during that era. It represents more than just a hat; it represents loyalty to both country and monarchy. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every aspect of this historic piece through their expert photography skills. With its rich colors and exquisite details brought to life in print form, viewers can now appreciate this significant part of our past from wherever they may be.
