EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, entitled 'Masters of the Horse, Hungarian Army, 18th Century,' is an exquisite illustration of the grandeur and sophistication of the Hungarian military cavalry during the 18th century. The image, created by Giarre from Giulio Ferrario's 'Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World,' published in Florence in 1847, showcases the Masters of the Horse, a prestigious title held by high-ranking officers in the Hungarian Army responsible for the care and maintenance of the royal horses. The Masters of the Horse are depicted in their distinctive hussar uniforms, which include a short, bright red jacket, white breeches, and a long, black pelisse with fur trim. The hussar helmet, adorned with a plume and a white ostrich feather, sits atop their heads, adding to their regal appearance. The horses, equally well-groomed and adorned, mirror the impeccable presentation of their riders. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the painstaking process of handcolouring each print. The image not only captures the fashion and military history of the 18th century but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Hungary. This historical illustration is a must-have for anyone with an interest in military history, fashion, or the art of the 19th century.
