Richard Simkin (1850–1926) born in Kent, was a soldier in a London volunteer regiment and studied at the Heatherley School of Art. He was employed by the War Office designing recruiting posters and providing illustrations for the Army and Navy Gazette. He married in 1880 and lived for six years at Aldershot before moving to Herne Bay. An authority on British military uniforms, he depicted imperial and colonial troops to create such series as Types of the Indian Army for the Army and Navy Gazette in 1901, having gained much first hand information at the Colonial and India Exhibition of 1886. During his lifetime, he contributed illustrations to numerous publications including The Graphic and Boy’s Own Magazine.
