An oldy, but a goody. If you want to see how a Guards officer looked during the war, look at the Dodswell painting: link I've had a chance to view this portrait (it's big) up close a couple of times at Mount Vernon. The tents in the background are interesting as well. One bit you can't see in most online photos – the twisted silver cord that lines his facings, cuffs, collar, epaulets, and runs mysteriously along the waistline of the coat (no, it's not a pocket). The portrait is on loan from Mount Vernon to the new Museum of the American Revolution in Philly. It opens soon.

Yep, great article. HG, in your link, is that a Woodbridge rendering of the rifleman?
