About the Item

The title of this original antique print is the "Königl. Hannover. Garde Hussaren Regt.", which translates to "Royal Hanoverian Guard Hussar Regiment". This unit would have been part of the army of the Kingdom of Hanover, which, during various periods, was in personal union with the United Kingdom. The Guard Hussars would have been a prestigious cavalry unit, likely serving as both ceremonial guards and elite troops. The uniform, with its rich decoration and distinctive Hussar features, suggests a high ceremonial as well as functional military significance. The King's German Legion was a British Army unit of mostly expatriate German personnel during the Napoleonic Wars. The illustration shows a military figure in a Hussar's uniform, characterized by the distinctive pelisse (a short fur-edged jacket) draped over the shoulder, a shako headgear with a plume, and elaborate braiding (frogging) across the front of the tunic. The officer is depicted on horseback, leaping over a barrier, which showcases the mobility and equestrian skills of Hussar units of that era. Hussars were light cavalry used for scouting, skirmishing, and in some cases, as shock troops. The style of the uniform and the nature of the illustration suggest it could be from the 19th century, which aligns with the period of the Napoleonic Wars. The phrase "bei J.G. Schrader in Hannover" suggests that this print was published or produced by J.G. Schrader in Hanover. J.G. Schrader could refer to the publisher, printer and bookseller active in Hanover during the time the print was made. Hanover (Hannover in German) is a city in Germany that has historically been a center of cultural and intellectual life, which included the production and distribution of prints and books. Given the style of the uniform and the historical context, it is likely that this print is from the 19th century, possibly related to the time of the Napoleonic Wars when the King's German Legion was active. Prints like these were commonly used for educational purposes, to document military uniforms, or to celebrate military achievements. Even though it is signed L.Leopold, It is possible that this print is associated with Johann Heinrich Ramberg. Ramberg was a well-known artist from Hanover, Germany, active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was particularly renowned for his illustrations and was commissioned to create a variety of works, including those that depicted military subjects. The signature "f.p. Leopold fec." indicates the artist or engraver of the print, with "fec." being an abbreviation of the Latin "fecit," which means "made by" or "created by." , but more research is needed. If Ramberg was indeed the artist, this print would likely have been part of a series of military illustrations, possibly commissioned by the state or for a military publication. Ramberg's style was quite detailed and expressive, fitting the characteristics of the print. To confirm if this print was indeed made by Johann Heinrich Ramberg, more research is needed and one would typically reference a catalog raisonné of Ramberg's works, consult an art historian with expertise in Ramberg's oeuvre, or examine the print for any signatures or hallmarks of Ramberg's style. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm the artist's identity with certainty. However, given the time period and location, Ramberg is a plausible candidate for the creator of this print.

Striking 19th-Century Lithograph of a Cochin Soldier by Auguste Wahlen
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Striking 19th-Century Lithograph of a Cochin Soldier by Auguste Wahlen" This colorful lithograph, part of Auguste Wahlen's renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), depicts a Cochin soldier standing guard. Dressed in a vividly colored uniform with an ornamental hat, this image captures the unique military attire and stance, highlighted against a backdrop of traditional architecture. The lithograph was skillfully created by an unknown engraver, published in 1843 in Paris by the collaborative efforts of publishers Poiree, Pilout, Duterte, and Martinon. Utilizing handcolored lithography, the technique vividly portrays the textures and colors, making the figure nearly lifelike. These prints are sought after for their artistic quality and their detailed portrayal of historical costumes and settings, which appeal to collectors and historians alike.
