About the Item
German & Austro-Hungarian Army Uniforms – Cavalry, Infantry & Officers, c.1890
Set of four antique hand-coloured lithograph prints depicting late 19th-century German and Austro-Hungarian military uniforms in vivid detail. Each plate captures a variety of regiments, ranks, and roles, from front-line troops in the field to high-ranking officers in full dress. The scenes combine action, ceremonial display, and everyday military life, making them an exceptional visual record for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of European military history.
The first plate focuses on the German Army, showing cavalry charges, mounted lancers, dragoons on foot, artillery personnel, and officers consulting maps in the field. The dynamic depiction of troops in action contrasts with the static detail of the individual uniforms.
The second plate presents more German Army figures, including dragoons, jägers, a mounted trumpeter, and officers in both ceremonial and operational contexts. Hunting scenes and camp life vignettes enrich the narrative, while mounted soldiers in full dress add a touch of regimental splendour.
The third plate highlights high-ranking German officers and ceremonial units, such as generals, guards, Bavarian officers, and uhlans, alongside artillerymen at range-finding exercises. The detailed portrayal of dress uniforms illustrates the grandeur of the late Imperial German Army.
The fourth plate shifts to the Austro-Hungarian Army, showing generals, infantry, lancers, artillery units, Landwehr troops, and Hungarian hussars in striking red and gold parade dress. Field scenes with soldiers marching, advancing, and engaging in rifle fire contrast with the elegance of mounted ceremonial officers.
Together, these four lithographs provide a rich visual survey of the uniforms, equipment, and varied roles within two of Europe’s most important late 19th-century armies. The precision of the hand colouring and the inclusion of labelled figures make them both decorative artworks and invaluable reference material.

French Antique Franco-Prussian War Painting of Cuirassiers by Paul Perboyre
Located in Shippensburg, PA
PAUL EMILE LÉON PERBOYRE
French, 1851-1929
Cuirassiers Sharing Wine with Rural Countryman
Oil on canvas signed lower left "Perboyre"
Item # 309ULM18A
A rich historical painting that captures the heart and reality of the Franco-Prussian conflict, the scene depicts a troop of Cuirassiers stopping for the afternoon in a non-descript field in the French countryside. Presumably the owner of the field, an older man has come out in the heat of the afternoon to greet the soldiers with a basket of wine bottles, offering a glass to the officers while chatting casually with them. Perhaps he is a local guide offering a sense of what the soldiers might expect in the rural countryside, but more likely it is simply a moment of reprieve in the idyllic countryside and a distinct juxtaposition to the intensity and drama of Perboyre's battle scenes.
The Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) was the last use of "cuirassiers" in the French army with uniforms characterized by the distinct helmets known as a "casque à crinière" featuring a plume of horsehair. The cuirassiers wore a breastplate (cuirass) and the red trousers were a standard part of the French military uniform...
