EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Officers Trial Pattern helmet of the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment, dating back to around 1854. Crafted by the Irish School in the 19th century, this unique helmet is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. Constructed from enamelled felt, this helmet was designed to be versatile for both infantry and cavalry use. The cavalry version featured a leather material with a distinctive Maltese cross-shaped plate. Additionally, it was recommended that a detachable metal plate back neck protector be included in both versions. However, despite these recommendations, neither design was ultimately adopted. The intricate details of this helmet reflect the rich history and tradition associated with military regiments during this era. Its elegant shape and expert craftsmanship are testaments to the skill of its creators. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Fine Art Finder, viewers can appreciate not only the aesthetic beauty of this artifact but also gain insight into historical military fashion trends. This image serves as a reminder of how even small elements like helmets played significant roles within regimental identities and traditions throughout history.
