HAYES, M. ANGELO (1820 – 1877) and WALKER (fl. c. 1846)

[The British Army.] London & Dublin: Graves & Co. [and] A. Le Sage, 1846.

A very rare series of colour lithographs of mounted British army officers. Each plate presents a large central scene, always containing an officer on horseback, surrounded by smaller military scenes and single figures, surmounted with a cartouche of the arms and standards of each regiment and titled and numbered within a shield at the bottom of the plate centre. Cavalry of the Guard, dragoons, Hussars, lancers, horse and foot artillery, infantry and others are depicted. This edition cited in the Index to British Military Costume Prints is dated 1846 and has Graves & Co. and A. Le Sage of Dublin as publishers and Walker as lithographer. The present copy additionally names Day & Haghe, lithographers to the Queen (active c.1830-62). The artist, Michael Angelo Hayes, was a native of Waterford, Ireland and is chiefly known for pictures involving horses, at the races or in military settings as here. Only two copy recorded at auction, and no library copies found in WorldCat. Bobins II, 354; Index to British Military Costume Prints, 1500-1914, 396; see Strickland, Dictionary of Irish Artists I, p.461-66.



Folio (538 x364mm). 15 lithographic plates coloured by contemporary hand, after M. Angelo Hayes, lithographed by Walker, heightened with gum arabic, plates formed of a central scene surrounded by a border of military scenes and single figures, (marginal finger-soiling). Later red half calf and marbled boards, spine lettered and decorated in gilt (extremities rubbed, spine with some repairs).
