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.

Napoleonic Light Infantry Officer 1795, French Military Uniform Print, 1843
Located in Langweer, NL
Napoleonic Light Infantry Officer 1795, French Military Uniform Print, 1843
This finely hand-colored 19th-century engraving depicts an officer of the French light infantry (infanterie légère) in 1795, during the crucial transitional years of the French Revolutionary Wars that directly shaped the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Shown in an animated combat stance, sword drawn and leading his men forward, the officer embodies the aggressive, mobile tactics that became a defining feature of Napoleonic warfare.
Light infantry units played a vital role in Napoleon’s armies, operating as skirmishers, scouts, and advance troops. Their flexibility, speed, and independence marked a clear break from the rigid linear tactics of earlier European armies. The uniform shown here—simpler yet purposeful—reflects the pragmatic military reforms of the Revolutionary period that Napoleon later perfected and expanded across Europe.
This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843. The illustrations are based on designs by Horace Vernet, the most important military artist of 19th-century France and the definitive visual chronicler of Napoleon and his era. Vernet’s work is renowned for its historical accuracy, clarity of movement, and enduring influence on the iconography of Napoleonic history.
Produced during the great Napoleonic revival of the mid-19th century, this engraving combines documentary precision with romantic heroism. It is particularly well suited for collectors of Napoleonic material, French military history, and antique uniform...

Chevau-Léger Lancer, Imperial Guard, Napoleonic Cavalry Print, 1843

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...

French Regional Costumes – Bretons, Parisians and Savoyard, c.1845

Title: French Regional Costumes – Bretons, Parisians and Savoyard, c.1845
This charming mid-19th-century hand-colored lithograph illustrates the regional diversity of traditional French costumes, taken from the rare Parisian publication Le Monde en Estampes: Types et Costumes des Principaux Peuples de l’Univers, issued around 1845–1850. The lithograph was executed by J. Bocquin after drawings by Fossey, printed by Lemercier in Paris, one of the most respected lithographic ateliers of the century. Published by Amédée Bedelet, this series presented detailed portrayals of national and regional dress from across Europe and beyond, accompanied by text by Élisabeth Müller.
The composition, labeled “Europe – France,” presents an elegant gathering of figures from various French provinces. In the foreground, a Breton couple walks proudly in their regional attire—he in a broad-brimmed hat and embroidered vest, she in a richly colored dress and traditional lace cap. To their left, a seated woman from Caux wears a tall white headpiece, while another figure represents a Marin Maconnaise from Burgundy. At the center and right, mountaineers from the High Pyrenees converse with Parisians dressed...

Garde d’Honneur, Imperial Guard Soldier, Hand-Colored Military Print 1843
This finely hand-colored military print depicts a member of the Garde d’Honneur, one of the elite auxiliary cavalry formations created during the final years of the Napoleonic Empire. Although the uniform shown relates to the campaigns of 1813–1814, this impression dates from 1843 and belongs to the important post-Napoleonic revival of interest in Imperial military history. Such later issues were produced with great care and accuracy, aimed at collectors, officers, and historians seeking authoritative visual records of Napoleonic uniforms.
The Garde d’Honneur was composed largely of young men from wealthy families, equipped at their own expense, and intended to reinforce Napoleon’s depleted cavalry after the disastrous Russian campaign. The figure is shown dismounted, leading his horse across uneven terrain, a scene that emphasizes endurance and discipline rather than parade-ground display. His uniform is rendered with precision: the dark green coat with white crossbelts, red trousers, tall boots, and shako identify the corps clearly, while the detailed equipment and horse furniture...

Napoleonic General of Division on Horseback, Bellangé, Military Print, 1843

Napoleonic General of Division on Horseback, Bellangé, French Military Print 1843
This finely hand-coloured military print depicts a General of Division of the Napoleonic army, shown on horseback and accompanied by his aide-de-camp, identified in the caption as “Général de division et son aide-de-camp, 1812.” The scene captures the commanding presence and ceremonial splendour of a senior French officer during the height of Napoleon I’s imperial campaigns, with particular reference to the period of the Russian campaign and the later years of the Empire.
The general is portrayed mounted on a white horse, wearing a richly decorated dark blue uniform with gold epaulettes, sash, and orders, emphasizing his high rank within the Grande Armée. The aide-de-camp follows closely behind, reinforcing the hierarchical structure and operational discipline of Napoleonic command. The careful rendering of uniforms, horse trappings, and regalia reflects the period’s obsession with military distinction and visual authority, making this image both a historical document and a work of refined military art.
This print originates from the illustrated volume “Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon” by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843 and illustrated after designs by Hippolyte (Horace) Bellangé, one of the most important 19th-century French military art...
