Cuirassier Dragoon Guard Militar Weapon Carabineer
EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving transports us back to the 18th century in France, showcasing the grandeur and discipline of the Royal Guard. The image, a testament to the rich history of the French military, features four distinct types of guards: a cuirassier, a carabineer, a dragoon, and a gate guard. The cuirassier, located on the far left, is dressed in a shining suit of armor, his chest protected by a heavy cuirass. He holds the reins of his powerful horse, ready for action. The carabineer, in the middle, is identified by his musket and the distinctive feather in his tricorn hat. His uniform, adorned with red and blue stripes, is both elegant and practical. To the right, the dragoon stands tall and proud, his saber at the ready. His green coat, with red lapels and cuffs, is a striking contrast to the brown of his riding boots and the brown horse he mounts. Lastly, the gate guard, positioned at the entrance to the fortification, is depicted in a simple yet effective uniform. His red coat, white waistcoat, and black breeches are a common sight for soldiers of the time. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a vivid image of the French military during the 18th century. The intricate details, from the individual soldiers' uniforms to the horses' coats, bring the scene to life and transport us back in time. A truly fascinating and historical piece, this engraving is a must-have for any collection focusing on military history or the history of France.
