The new uniforms for the Light Infantry and Cavalry, 1854. Creator: Unknown

The new uniforms for the Light Infantry and Cavalry, 1854....the Light Infantry regiments are to wear a shako, light in construction to the one now in use, and more graceful. The small ball, the substitute for the feather, will be retained, and the number of the regiment will be conspicuously displayed in front. The coat will be a tunic or short frock, scarlet in colour, and double breasted. The collar will be low and open, with embroidered gold lace in crowns and stars, denoting the rank of the officer...The new Infantry design is from an English house, Messrs. Moore and Co. of James's street. The new dressing-case, portfolio, and despatch bag...is from the design of Mr. West, of St. James's- street. It may be remarked that the change in the Light Cavalry uniform is perfectly German. The new dress, as tested on Saturday last, consists of a rounded tunic...with a profusion of lace ending in "frogs"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
