Unframed Print. Condition: Very Good. A single plate, 15 x 24 cms, with two pages of accompanying text. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Issued in the wake of Britain's victory at Waterloo, this 1832 hand-coloured engraving embodies the ceremonial pride and enduring prestige of the Royal Artillery in the post-Napoleonic era. Depicting the Correct New Appointments, it serves as a vivid visual record of evolving military fashion and rank distinction, capturing the formalization of dress regulations that followed decades of battlefield experience. The mounted officer, resplendent in a shako headpiece and gold-trimmed uniform, raises his sword in a gesture of command, evoking the authority, mobility, and heroism associated with Waterloo-era leadership. This print not only reflects the stylistic refinement of the British Army in the 1830s but also resonates with the legacy of its artillery corps at one of history's defining battles.
