"Light Horse: A Legacy of Courage and Valor" From the battlefields of history to the pages of lithographs and engravings, the light horse has left an indelible mark on our collective memory. These noble steeds carried soldiers into war, their speed and agility unmatched as they charged fearlessly towards victory. In a haunting colour lithograph, we witness Spanish troops mercilessly killing wounded soldiers, a stark reminder of the brutality that unfolded in countless conflicts. Yet amidst this darkness, hope emerges with another vibrant litho depicting "The arrival of the Emperor. " Napoleon's presence brought inspiration to his troops, igniting their spirits for battles yet to come. Another striking image showcases Napoleon himself reviewing troops of the Polish Light Horse at Bayonne. The pride in their eyes is palpable as they stand tall before their revered leader. And at Wagram, we see them charging forward with unwavering determination - a testament to their unwavering loyalty and bravery. Dan Leons Light Horse takes us on a different journey altogether. Through caricatures, he immortalizes figures like Henry Irving and Beerbohm Tree who were part of this illustrious cavalry unit. Their contributions extended beyond warfare; they became cultural icons representing strength and resilience. Traveling back in time through gravure prints, we witness a charge by "Light Horse" during Louis XIV's reign – an era when these gallant warriors epitomized chivalry on horseback. Fast forward to 1900s South Africa where troopers from various regiments such as the South African Light Horse and Brabants Horse Regiment fought side by side against adversity. Henry Lee III stands out among them all – his engraved portrait capturing not only his distinguished appearance but also his legacy as a patriot who served during America's struggle for independence. And finally, we find ourselves transported to Jerusalem where members of the 6th Australian Light-Horse Regiment camped outside the ancient city.
