About this book:
Orlando Norie was one of the foremost illustrators of the British army in the 19th century. The Anne S.K. Brown Military Collection in Brown University Library, Providence, Rhode Island, possesses one of the largest, if not the largest, public collection of original military watercolors by Orlando Norie. The pictures in the Brown military collection range from single figure uniform studies or composites to genre and battle scenes and at least one named portrait. These are published as a group for the first time, along with Michel Tomasek’s masterful account of Norie’s life, including comments on the artist’s British pictures by Peter Harrington. 176 page hardcover book with over 180 color plates.
