This print showcases an exquisite officers' coatee from the 49th Regiment of Foot, dating back to around 1770. Created by the British School in the 18th century, this fabric artifact is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The vibrant red hue of this coatee served a crucial purpose on smoky battlefields - ensuring visibility for British infantry soldiers.
