As one of the foremost military illustrators of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he focused on accurately documenting the uniforms, ranks, and regimental distinctions of British and colonial forces. Simkin portrayed soldiers in full dress and active duty, capturing the diversity of regiments—from British officers to Indian cavalry, infantry, and native troops. His works serve not only as artistic expressions but also as historical records of military structure, attire, and colonial presence during the British Empire.
