'Portrait of a Private in an English regiment', late 18th Century', 1912. Silhouette of a private, a soldier of the lowest military rank. The term derives from the medieval term "private soldiers" (still used in the British Army), denoting individuals who were either hired, conscripted, or mustered into service by a feudal nobleman commanding a battle group of an army. From "The Connoisseur Vol XXXII." [Otto Limited, London, 1912]
