| The Prince of Wales was influenced by the hussar regiments in foreign armies like Prussia and France. The changes from light dragoon to hussar uniform began c1803 but were not officially sanctioned until 1807. The tall fur busby, the frogged dolman and pelisse were the distinctive features of hussar dress. This print, no.7 out of 33, was published by T Goddard of 1 Pall Mall, and J Booth of Duke Street, Portland Place. The prints were not dated but the final print was etched around 1822. The colouring of the officer’s collar and cuffs is yellow which was the regimental facings colour from 1803 to 1811. Other copies of this print are to found with red facings, indicating that they were produced after 1811 when the 10th became ‘Royal’. |
