Officer of the King's German Legion (Duke of Cambridge's Hussars), circa 1828
About the Item
This is an hand-colored illustration of an officer from the King's German Legion, specifically the 3rd Hussar Regiment, also known as the Duke of Cambridge's Hussars.
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.
It is possible that this print could be 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.
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.

Hanoverian Guard Hussar Officer Elegance, 19th Century Military Print
Located in Langweer, NL
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.
