Coldstream Guards Grenadier NCO Marching, 1792
Another plate from the series of watercolors commissioned by Coldstream Guards officer Captain James Hewgill was a Sergeant of that regiment. The sergeant’s regimental coat is made of a better grade of wool than the enlisted men and is trimmed with gold lace rather than the plain white worsted lace specified for a sergeant in a line regiment. Of special interest is the cane hanging from a button on his left lapel as illustrated in the plate by Edward Dayes – at that time the official draughtsman of the Duke of York.

Coldstream Guards Grenadier Officer Marching, 1792
Edward Dayes produced a series of illustrations of the Coldstream Guards. One figure not depicted in his collection was that of a Grenadier Officer. Our reconstruction is based on known portraits and the regulations of the period and has gold lace and buttons on his superfine wool regimental coat. He does not wear the wings associated with the Grenadiers on his shoulders, but a pair of officers gold epaulettes, and at his neck, a gold gorget, another symbol of rank.

Coldstream Guards Battalion Coy Officer Marching, 1792
In February 1792 Captain James Hewgill – an officer in the Coldstream Guards Regiment – published a series of pictures, representing each regiment of the British army. The images show two figures for each regiment and were by E. Dayes, at that time the official draughtsman of the Duke of York, and color tinted by the famous English artist, Joseph Mallard William Turner, who was only 17 years old at the time. This figure represents a Battalion Officer of that regiment marching with his sword at shoulder.
