EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an English Hussar from around 1815, captured in a stunning aquatint and colored by the talented artist Carle Vernet. Housed at the National Army Museum in London, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of light cavalry during that era. The English Hussars were renowned for their agility and speed on horseback, making them ideal for skirmish battles and scouting missions. In this image, we see the hussar donning a pelisse - a short fur-edged jacket worn slung over the shoulder like a cape. The jacket is fastened with a cord, adding to its distinctive style. Vernet's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this colored etching. The vibrant hues bring life to the hussar's uniform, showcasing his bravery and valor on the battlefield. Engraved by Debucourt and published by J J Rousseau around 1815, this print captures not only historical accuracy but also artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness one soldier's dedication to duty and honor. It serves as a testament to the rich history of military regalia while reminding us of those who fought bravely for their country centuries ago.
