What periods do these paintings cover?

The works span from the eighteenth century through the Regency and Victorian eras to the First World War. They capture changing military uniforms and artistic styles across these periods. Earlier pieces often take the form of miniature portraits, while later twentieth-century examples include satirical illustrations and campaign records.

Where do these watercolours originate?

The collection includes works from British schools, alongside pieces reflecting Anglo-Indian service and French naval subjects. Artists ranged from named military illustrators to anonymous hands. Subjects document specific regiments, individual officers and historical vessels from various theatres of conflict.

How should I display framed watercolours?

Watercolours require protection from direct sunlight to prevent the pigments and paper from fading over time. Maintaining stable indoor humidity levels also safeguards the paper support and wooden or gilt frames. Displaying them away from direct heat sources ensures the continued preservation of the delicate washes and inks.
