EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white print captures the grandeur and magnificence of The French Imperial Guard Cavalry in 1856, as they received a medal from the Duke of Cambridge in the name of Queen Victoria. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases the intricately designed uniforms and impressive horses of the elite cavalry regiment. The cavalrymen are depicted in their full regalia, including breastplates, casques, and chest plates, which were designed to protect them in battle. The horses, too, are adorned with ornate harnesses and trappings. The soldiers' uniforms, with their high collars, long coats, and distinctive helmets, were a testament to the fashion of the time and the military's commitment to style as well as function. The print, created by Henry Duff Linton, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French Imperial Guard during the 19th century. The location of the event is not specified in the caption, but the prestigious nature of the occasion is evident in the dignified demeanor of the soldiers and the regal presence of the Duke of Cambridge.
