The Home Campaign - A Glimpse into Military Life in the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Home Campaign" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Robinson in 1871 for The Illustrated London News, this engraving offers a fascinating insight into military camps during the Home Campaign. Set against the backdrop of Chobham Ridges in Surrey, we witness a scene bustling with activity. Tents dotting the landscape indicate the presence of retreating soldiers and their headquarters. The image showcases the meticulous organization required to run such operations smoothly. Intriguingly, nestled amidst these military encampments is a police camp, highlighting an aspect often overlooked when discussing warfare. This inclusion reminds us that maintaining law and order was crucial even during times of conflict. Notably, HRH Prince of Wales can be seen observing proceedings from afar—an indication of his keen interest and involvement in military matters during this time. The presence of artillery further emphasizes the gravity and scale of preparations undertaken for potential conflicts on home soil. It serves as a reminder that war could strike at any moment—a reality faced by those living through uncertain times. Through this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where military campaigns were not limited to distant lands but also took place within our own borders. It invites contemplation on how communities rallied together to protect their homeland while facing challenges head-on with determination and resilience.
