A GUIDE TO MILITARY ART ROWLANDSON’S LOYAL LONDON VOLUNTEERS Rowlandson pictures each individual in a particular named drill position. Reproduced here from a fine original volume is a full set of Rowlandson’s 87 plates, together with an additional two that were to be included in some (even scarcer) bound volumes by the publisher. To accompany each plate, Ackermann prepared A GUIDE TO MILITARY ART a page of letterpress which — included details of when the ROWLANDSON’S corps had been formed, its LOYAL LONDON uniform and names of officers. VOLUNTEERS 1798–99 That text has been reproduced here in full, together with Ray Westlake additional notes prepared by Ray Westlake. In this volume are presented some of Thomas Rowlandson’s most elegant and effective works in terms of pure printmaking. The result is arguably the greatest of all military costume books, in that it ascends beyond being a mere record of uniforms to become an important social document and a cohesive work of art, all produced at a time of great national peril. 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. 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 most original set of English military plates from the Napoleonic period – 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.
