EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Serafín Maré de Soto, Earl of Clonard (1793-1862), a prominent figure in the history of the Spanish armed forces. The image is taken from his "Memoirs for the History of the Troops of the Royal House of Spain," published in 1828. In this portrait, Earl Clonard is shown as a Grenadier from the year 1815. The intricate detail of the engraving reveals the Earl wearing a traditional Spanish military uniform, complete with a red coat, white waistcoat, and gold epaulettes. He is also seen wearing a black boot, a white glove, and holding a sabre in his right hand. The Earl's military career spanned several decades, and he served in various infantry units throughout Europe. This engraving specifically represents his time as a Grenadier, a distinguished rank within the infantry. The militaristic theme is further emphasized by the uniform's grandeur and the Earl's stern expression. The "Memoirs for the History of the Troops of the Royal House of Spain" were an essential historical record of the Spanish military during the early 19th century. Earl Clonard's contributions to this work provide valuable insights into the organization, tactics, and daily life of the Spanish armed forces during this period. This image, with its rich details and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and pride of a Spanish serviceman during the era of militarism and European power struggles.
