EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic artifact, the side drum used by the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot around 1815. Created by an anonymous British School artist in the 19th century, this remarkable piece is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The significance of this side drum lies in its association with the renowned 42nd Regiment during their service in Egypt and Spain throughout the Napoleonic Wars. This regiment was highly esteemed for its exceptional performance at both Quatre Bras and Waterloo battles in 1815, earning them a distinguished mention in despatches. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to intricate details such as the band encircling the drum, symbolizing unity and harmony within the regiment. The inclusion of a battle honour highlights their valiant efforts on these historical battlegrounds. Moreover, our attention is captured by a striking depiction of a sphinx—a mythical beast representing strength and wisdom—engaged in confrontation. Perhaps it serves as an emblematic reminder of challenges faced by soldiers during wartime. This print not only preserves an important artifact from history but also invites us to reflect on the bravery and sacrifices made by those who served under this prestigious regiment. Through artful composition and rich symbolism, it transports us back to a pivotal era where honor clashed with adversity on European battlefields.
