The uniforms of the soldiers are recorded carefully. The print is dedicated to Prince Albert, the year after his marriage to Victoria. The painter, Georg Emmanuel Opiz (1775-1841), was born in Prague but moved around the cities of Europe, including Dresden, Vienna, Paris & Liepzig. In 1840 Opiz, Hilscher & Kliest published a similar view of the Hessian army in revue above Maintz.
