EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario in his renowned publication "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno), offers a fascinating glimpse into the uniforms of the Spanish Army during the 1800s. The image showcases various branches of the military, including a Catalan light infantryman (1), an artilleryman (2), grenadiers (3), and other soldiers (4). During the 19th century, Spain underwent significant military reforms, which were reflected in the evolution of its uniforms. The Spanish Army, a crucial player in the Napoleonic Wars and the Peninsula War, adopted various uniform designs to distinguish different units and ranks. In this illustration, the Catalan light infantryman is depicted in a short, blue jacket with red lapels, white breeches, and a red waist sash. The artilleryman wears a dark blue jacket with yellow facings, a red waist sash, and a white helmet with a red plume. The grenadiers, easily recognizable by their tall shakos and red coats with yellow lapels, are shown in formation with their muskets at the ready. The other soldiers, dressed in various uniforms, may represent other branches of the Spanish military, such as cavalry or heavy infantry. This historical illustration provides an intriguing look into the fashion and military history of Spain during the 1800s, offering valuable insights into the uniforms that shaped the identity of the Spanish Army during a pivotal period in European history.
