One of the best known illustrators of British army uniforms, Richard Simkin (1850-1926) first joined a volunteer regiment before attending art school and emerging as a military artist in the early 1880s. He is probabaly best know for his series of Army regiments including Yeomanry and Colonial regiments, a weekly supplement print to the Army and Navy Gazette. In 1901 he created a series of 'Types of the Indian Army' for the Gazette. He obtained much of the information from the Colonial and India Exhibition of 1886. Over a period of over 50 years Simkin produced thousands of watercolours of Army uniforms and watercolours of Army life and campaigns.
