EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, created in 1862, captures the annual change of quarters of the Household Brigade, specifically the Second Life Guards, as they arrive at Albany-Street Barracks in London. The Second Life Guards are seen replacing the Royal Horse Guards, which had previously occupied the Regent's Park barracks. The regiment's relocation from Knightsbridge to Windsor is also indicated, with the 1st Life Guards taking their place. The image showcases the grandeur and tradition of the British Army during the 19th century. The Household Cavalry, an elite and distinguished part of the British armed forces, is depicted in their full regalia, including armour, casques, and spiked helmets. The horses, too, are adorned with protective clothing and trappings. The regiment's uniforms, with their intricate designs and attention to detail, reflect the fashion of the time. The men, both horse and foot, are seen in various stages of dismounting and preparing for the changeover. The scene is further enriched by the presence of the barracks, a grand, imposing building that speaks to the military might and history of the British Army. This photograph print, originally published in the Illustrated London News, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British military during the 19th century. It offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and operations of the Household Cavalry, providing a fascinating insight into the past.
