Snaffles was the pseudonym of Charles Johnson Payne, a British artist renowned for his commercial, sporting, and military artwork created throughout the twentieth century. His military prints frequently depicted British soldiers, uniforms, and equestrian subjects with accurate historical detail.

Snaffles prints were typically produced on paper using lithographic or gravure techniques, often featuring printed remarques or inscriptions. They were traditionally mounted in card apertures and housed within simple wooden frames behind glass.

Authentic Snaffles prints often bear the artists distinctive signature or printed moniker, along with blindstamps or publisher markings. Examining the quality of the paper stock, colour fidelity, and period mounting technique can also assist in verification.

Military prints can be incorporated into contemporary interiors by hanging them as part of a gallery wall or alongside traditional furniture in a study, hallway, or library setting. Pairing them with dark wood finishes or neutral wall tones highlights their monochrome and sepia tones.

To preserve framed prints, display them away from direct sunlight and source non-reflective, UV-filtering glass. Ensure the artwork is mounted using acid-free materials to prevent discolouration, foxing, and paper deterioration over time.
