Orlando Norie is considered to have been one of the foremost
illustrators of the British army in the 19th century, with
thousands of watercolors to his credit in public and private
collections. His pictures are highly sought after and command high
prices. Yet his life remained a mystery that is only now being
uncovered. Many of these wonderful pictures are revealed here for
the first time. The Anne S.K. Brown Military Collection in Brown
University Library, Providence, Rhode Island, USA, 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.
