How Merrily We Live That Soldiers Be
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of soldiers associated with the Hussars. This vibrant colour lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist in c. 1828, captures a jovial scene outside a tavern. In this lively depiction, three uniformed soldiers can be seen indulging in their merriment as they revel in their camaraderie and celebrate their military service. Clearly intoxicated, they raise their glasses high while engaging in animated conversation and laughter. Their carefree spirits are infectious, drawing our attention to the joyous atmosphere surrounding them. Amidst this merry chaos stands a farm worker who observes the soldiers' antics with curiosity and perhaps even amusement. His presence adds an element of contrast to the scene – representing ordinary civilian life juxtaposed against the excitement and adventure of military existence. Published by A Sharpe and associated with the Hussars, this artwork showcases not only skilled craftsmanship but also offers insight into social dynamics during that era. The detailed portrayal of uniforms highlights historical accuracy while emphasizing group identity among these soldiers. This delightful cartoon-like composition serves as both entertainment and historical documentation, reminding us of how soldiers found solace amidst challenging times through friendship and shared experiences. It is an exquisite piece that brings history alive through its vivid colors and spirited characters captured forever within its frame.
