EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print titled "The Parting March, 1854" captures a poignant moment in time. Created by Augustus Butler, an artist active during the mid-19th century, this colour lithograph showcases the departure of Foot Guards for the Crimea during the Crimean War. The scene depicted is one of farewell and anticipation as soldiers clad in their distinctive uniforms march through Trafalgar Square. The band plays a somber tune while onlookers wave goodbye to their loved ones heading off to battle. The atmosphere is filled with both pride and trepidation, as these troops embark on a journey that will test their courage and resilience. This Victorian-era artwork not only portrays the physical act of marching but also conveys emotional depth. The soldiers' busbies stand tall atop their heads, symbolizing unity and strength amidst adversity. Through its vivid colors and attention to detail, this print transports viewers back in time to witness a significant moment in military history. Acquired by the National Army Museum in London, this print serves as a reminder of sacrifice and duty exhibited by those who fought bravely during times of conflict. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by these courageous men who marched into uncertainty with unwavering determination.
