EDITORS COMMENTS
Frontispiece with Two Cherubs Holding a Bicorn and Sword: An Allegory of Protection and Safety This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Cupid Turned Volunteer," depicts a frontispiece illustration created by Princess Elizabeth and engraved by William Nelson Gardiner in 1804. The image showcases two cherubs, each holding a symbolic object. The cherub on the left cradles a bicorn, a traditional helmet adorned with two horns, while the cherub on the right brandishes a sword. The allegorical significance of the cherubs and their attributes is rooted in the classical tradition of representing protection and safety. The bicorn, a symbol of power and strength, is often associated with military leadership and the sword, an essential weapon in battle, represents the readiness to defend and protect. The cherubs' pose and attire further emphasize their role as guardians. They are dressed in putto-style clothing, a common representation of young boys in classical art. Their chubby cheeks and mischievous expressions add a playful touch to the serious subject matter. In the background, a column with a banner and standard stands tall, symbolizing the stability and unity of the military. The overall composition of the image is balanced and harmonious, with the cherubs' sticks and drums adding a sense of rhythm and energy. This beautiful frontispiece is a testament to the artistic talents of Princess Elizabeth and William Nelson Gardiner, as well as the enduring appeal of classical allegory. It is a reminder that even the most powerful and protective forces can take the form of cherubic beings, reminding us of the importance of protection and safety in our lives.
