EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at the Brighton Volunteer Review" takes us back in time to a lively military event. Created by Alfred Crowquill in 1872, this humorous illustration captures the essence of a military review with its playful sketches and witty undertones. The scene unfolds on Brighton Beach during the renowned Brighton Volunteer Review. Amidst the disciplined soldiers and proud officers, one figure stands out - a deserter clutching his runaway drum. With mischievous charm, Crowquill portrays this comical character as he tries to evade capture while maintaining an air of nonchalance. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout the print; from the meticulously rendered uniforms to the bustling atmosphere of spectators cheering on their favorite troops. The energy of this historic event comes alive through Crowquill's skilled hand, transporting viewers back to a time when military reviews were grand spectacles that united communities. This particular engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on April 13th, 1872. Its inclusion in private collections speaks volumes about its artistic merit and enduring appeal. Bridgeman Images has preserved this gem from history for all art enthusiasts to enjoy. With its blend of humor, military spectacle, and Victorian charm, "Sketches at the Brighton Volunteer Review" offers a delightful glimpse into an era long gone but forever immortalized through artistry.
