French cavalry at Luneville: a charge of the cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard, 1860. Creator: Unknown
French cavalry at Luneville: a charge of the cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard, 1860. The greater portion of the cavalry in the military district of Nancy, under the command of Marshal Canrobert, is at present quartered at Luneville, in the barracks of the Orangery, which is admirably adapted for the reception of a large number of horse soldiers. Much attention is now being paid to the exercises of the French cavalry, who are to be trained to fight on foot with nearly the same facility as on horseback...the Cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard...form, perhaps, the most picturesque as well as the most formidable portion of the French heavy cavalry. On the occasion depicted in our Engraving the troops were under the command of General Daumas...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a charge of the Cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard during military exercises at Luneville, France, in 1860. The scene unfolds with a group of these formidable cavalrymen, clad in shining armor and brandishing their sabers, charging into the fray with determination and precision. The greater portion of the French cavalry was stationed at Luneville under the command of Marshal Canrobert, and much attention was paid to their training to fight effectively both on horseback and on foot. The Cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard, as shown in this image, formed the most picturesque and formidable portion of the French heavy cavalry. In this instance, the troops were under the command of General Daumas. The black and white image, taken from the Illustrated London News, captures the raw power and intensity of these horse soldiers in action, their horses galloping with unyielding strength and resolve. This evocative print provides a glimpse into the meticulous training regimes of the French military during the 19th century and the unwavering dedication of these soldiers to their duty.
