This Georgian print is a hand-coloured engraving depicting a military officer in profile wearing a blue coat with gold trim, a tricorn hat, white gloves, and tall black boots, standing on a grey ground with a cane and sword. The artwork is mounted behind glass in a modern light wood box frame with straight, square sides and visible grain. Measuring 35.6 cm high by 29.9 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep, it has an aperture height of 25.4 cm and an aperture width of 20.3 cm. This framed print suits a gentleman's library, a study, or a hallway, adding historic character to a narrow wall space. It brings traditional British military motif styling and a neutral, blue and cream colour palette to an interior. The paper background shows subtle texture beneath the hand-coloured illustration of the standing figure.

FAQs

A hand-coloured military engraving is a print produced from an etched or engraved metal plate, with colour applied individually by hand using watercolours. Historically popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these prints documented military uniforms, prominent officers, and political caricatures.

Traditional engravings were executed on heavy rag paper using oil-based ink applied via a copper or steel plate. Once printed, artists added pigments using watercolour washes, resulting in subtle variations across individual impressions.

Authentic period engravings display a distinct plate mark indent around the image perimeter created by the pressure of the printing press. Under magnification, hand-applied watercolour washes show natural brushwork and colour variation, rather than the mechanical dot matrix seen in modern halftone reproductions.

Antique military prints work well paired with contemporary light wood or black frames to contrast traditional subject matter. Display them as part of a gallery wall grid or alongside leather seating and natural timber in a home office or reading nook.

Frame paper prints using acid-free mount board and UV-protective glass to prevent yellowing and pigment fading. Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, radiator heat, and areas of high humidity.
