1. Title: "Ubique: The Everywhere Presence of the Royal Artillery" This 19th-century photograph print showcases the design and motto of the esteemed Royal Artillery, a prominent and historic military corps of the British Army. The image features a regal crown, ornately embellished initials RA in mirror image, a majestic field gun, and the Latin word Ubique. The Royal Artillery, established in 1716, initially carried the Latin motto Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt, which translates to "Where Right and Glory Lead." However, in 1833, under the reign of King William IV, the corps was granted the additional title Ubique, meaning "Everywhere," to reflect its significant presence on battlefields across the globe. The mirror image of the RA initials symbolizes the duality and symmetry inherent in the art of war, while the field gun represents the corps' formidable firepower and adaptability. The regal crown underscores the prestige and tradition associated with the Royal Artillery, a testament to its long and storied history. The Latin word Ubique, elegantly displayed, emphasizes the corps' unwavering commitment to being present on every battlefield, a powerful reminder of their indispensable role in shaping the course of history. The intricate design, with its blue background, ornate details, and the wheeled carriage and guns in the background, evokes a sense of grandeur and strength, making this print a captivating and evocative representation of the Royal Artillery's legacy.
