Scope & Content:

SIMKIN, RICHARD (1840-1926)

Simkin specialised in depicting military uniforms and a number of his drawings were reproduced in the latter part of the nineteenth century. He lived at Aldershot and so could easily get material for military subjects. Although he never visited India, he made numerous drawings of the Indian Army and obtained much material from the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886, which showed models in Indian uniforms. In 1901, he drew 'Types of the Indian Native Army' for a supplement of the ‘Army and Navy Gazette.’ He also drew recruiting posters and executed many private commissions for pictures of regimental groups and types. He settled at Heme Bay, until his death in 1926. The National Army Museum possesses a number of his drawings.
