A framed colour print depicting the historical evolution of uniforms for the Scots Guards between 1760 and 1885, by the artist Reginald Augustus Wymer (1849–1935). The print features multiple vignettes of soldiers in various orders of dress, including full dress with bearskins, undress, and active service uniforms. The figures represented include officers, rank and file, and regimental musicians such as pipers, drummers, and buglers. Several individual groups are annotated with specific years including 1760, 1827, 1854, and 1885 to denote the specific eras depicted.
Printed text to the bottom centre reads SCOTS GUARDS – 1760 – 1885. R. WYMER. The lower right margin features a handwritten inscription in blue ink which reads To Matthew and Cynthia at Tudor Cottage From Derek and Ursula MARCH 1988. A small white auction lot sticker bearing the number 51 is affixed to the lower centre of the glass. The print is housed in a contemporary dark wood frame with a gilt inner slip.
