Chevau-Léger Lancer, Imperial Guard, Napoleonic Cavalry Print, 1843 This striking hand-coloured 19th-century engraving depicts a Chevau-Léger Lancer of the First Regiment of the Imperial Guard, shown at full gallop carrying the regimental standard. The dynamic pose of horse and rider conveys the speed, discipline, and spectacle of Napoleon Bonaparte’s elite light cavalry, one of the most visually distinctive units of the Grande Armée. The lancer’s richly detailed uniform, with its bold colours, plumed helmet, and ornate saddlecloth, reflects both ceremonial splendour and battlefield prestige. The Chevau-Légers Lanciers of the Imperial Guard were among Napoleon’s most celebrated cavalry formations, recruited for their skill, bravery, and loyalty. Their role combined shock action with reconnaissance and pursuit, and they became iconic symbols of Imperial power during the height of the Napoleonic Wars. The presence of additional mounted figures in the background reinforces the sense of movement and coordinated cavalry action. This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843 and illustrated after designs by Horace Vernet. Vernet was the foremost military artist of his time, renowned for his ability to combine historical accuracy with dramatic composition. Although produced several decades after the events depicted, the series reflects the strong 19th-century revival of interest in Napoleon and serves as an important visual record of Imperial Guard uniforms. Highly decorative and historically rich, this engraving appeals to collectors of Napoleonic history, cavalry imagery, and French military art...

Officier de Chasseurs à Cheval, Garde Impériale – Napoleonic Cavalry Print 1843 This finely executed 19th-century hand-coloured military print depicts an officer of the Chasseurs à Cheval of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, one of the most elite light cavalry units of the Grande Armée. The scene shows the officer mounted and in full action, raising his sabre while directing his men, a composition that emphasizes speed, command, and martial elegance. The Chasseurs à Cheval were personally favored by Napoleon and frequently served as his escort, reconnaissance force, and shock cavalry during key campaigns. The uniform is rendered with great precision: the richly braided dolman, fur-edged pelisse, tall shako with plume, and ornate horse furniture...
