EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately detailed chromolithograph information poster, published by Gale and Polden Ltd in 1911, showcases the 3rd (Prince of Wales) Dragoon Guards of the British Military. The poster, which measures approximately 14 x 10 inches, features a striking image of a lone soldier on horseback, poised and ready, against a backdrop of galloping horses and regimental insignia. The 3rd Dragoon Guards, also known as the "Prince of Wales's Own," is one of the oldest and most distinguished cavalry regiments in the British Army, with a rich history dating back to 1685. The regiment saw action in numerous conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars, the Boer War, and both World Wars. The poster's design is both informative and visually appealing, with a calendar grid at the bottom, allowing viewers to easily identify the month and year. The regimental crest, complete with the Prince of Wales' feathers, is prominently displayed at the top, along with the regimental motto, "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," which translates to "Where Duty and Glory Lead." The use of vibrant colors and intricate detailing in the poster is a testament to the advanced chromolithography printing techniques of the time. The poster's condition is excellent, with minimal signs of wear or damage, making it a valuable addition to any military history collection. This poster provides a unique glimpse into the history of the 3rd (Prince of Wales) Dragoon Guards, showcasing the regiment's rich heritage and the pride and dedication of its soldiers. The image of the lone soldier on horseback, with his steed poised and ready, is a powerful reminder of the courage and discipline that have defined the regiment for centuries.
