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.

Napoleonic Carabinier 1805, Imperial Guard Heavy Cavalry Print, 1843
Located in Langweer, NL
Napoleonic Carabinier 1805, Imperial Guard Heavy Cavalry Print Description: This original hand-coloured 19th-century engraving depicts a Carabinier of the French heavy cavalry during the Napoleonic Wars, dated 1805, at the height of Napoleon Bonaparte’s imperial power. Shown standing beside his horse in full service uniform, the figure represents one of the most elite and physically imposing cavalry units of the Grande Armée. The tall bearskin headdress, red epaulettes, long sword, and carefully detailed equipment emphasize the prestige and battlefield authority of the Carabiniers. The Carabiniers were renowned for their strength, discipline, and shock tactics, serving as heavy cavalry alongside the cuirassiers during Napoleon’s major campaigns, including Austerlitz. Unlike lighter cavalry units, they were intended to break enemy lines through sheer force and momentum, a role reflected in the solid stance of the soldier and the powerful build of the horse. The composition balances military precision with quiet authority, reinforcing the elite status of this corps within Napoleon’s army. This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843, with illustrations after designs by Horace Vernet. Vernet was the foremost military art...
