Reginald Augustus Wymer, (1849 - 1935) 

< Return to Artists

Probably one of the finest military illustrators, Wymer was renowned for his accuracy and detail in both British and Continental uniforms.

 

He was commissioned in the 34th Foot Regiment in 1867; transferred to the 91st Highlanders in 1870; made a Captain in the 2nd (Militia) Battalion of the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders; and retired as a Major in 1905. His works were collected by Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and Queen Mary, who visited Fortnum and Mason’s on 28 May 1932 ‘to see charming pictures by Major Wymer’.
