EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, titled "Military Tents," is an exquisite illustration from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities respecting a History of the English Army," published in London in 1812. The engraving, created by N.C. Goodnight, offers a fascinating glimpse into the military encampments of the 18th century. The image showcases a diverse array of military tents, each unique to the rank of the soldier occupying it. At the heart of the illustration are the tent poles (1), essential for supporting the structure of the tents. Moving on, we find the private's tent (2), a simple yet functional shelter designed for the common soldier. The fly tents (3 and 4) are depicted next, providing additional cover from the elements. As we progress up the military hierarchy, we encounter the officers' marquis (5), a more spacious and luxurious tent for subalterns, and the captains' tent (7), featuring a chimney for warmth and comfort. Further along, we find the field officers' marquis (9), a grand tent for high-ranking officers, and the colonel of militias' tent (11), a large and impressive structure for the most senior officers. Additionally, the illustration includes a servants' tent (10), which would have provided shelter for the support staff and camp followers. This intricate and detailed engraving offers a captivating insight into the organization and hierarchy of the 18th century English army, providing a valuable historical record of military life during this era.
