EDITORS COMMENTS
The Guard Room, painted by L. Haghe, 1850, is a captivating print depicting a scene of relaxation and leisure among 17th and 19th century guards. The image, created by renowned English painter and printmaker Louis Haghe, was exhibited at the New Society of Painters in Water-Colours and later published in the Illustrated London News. The guard room, filled with an air of quiet camaraderie, is adorned with a grand chimneypiece and fireplace mantel, the warmth of the fire casting a gentle glow over the scene. Soldiers are seen engrossed in their pastimes, some playing cards, others smoking their tobacco pipes, and all engaged in animated conversation. The room is filled with an eclectic mix of weapons and gun paraphernalia, a testament to their military duties. The print, titled 'The Guard Room' by Walter Mason, offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the 17th and 19th centuries. The guards, dressed in their uniforms, are seen in a more humanizing light, away from the battlefield and the rigors of warfare. The print, with its intricate details and nuanced portrayal of the soldiers, is a fascinating window into the past, providing a unique insight into the lives of those who served and protected during this period. The Guard Room, with its timeless charm and historical significance, remains an enduring symbol of the human spirit and the importance of leisure and camaraderie, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
