EDITORS COMMENTS
Manuel Carlos de Andrade, a distinguished horseman to the Portuguese royal family, is depicted in this 1790 photograph as he gracefully rides a horse, showcasing the essence of the liberal and noble art of horsemanship. Andrade's impeccable uniform, adorned with gold braid and intricate designs, reflects his high rank within the Portuguese cavalry. The image, taken in the 1790s, portrays Andrade as a skilled rider, his posture and connection with the horse exuding confidence and expertise. During this period, Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, was a bustling hub of cultural and artistic activity. Andrade's book, "The Light of the Liberal and Noble Art of Horsemanship," was a testament to the importance of horsemanship in Portuguese society. The art of riding was not only a practical skill for military purposes but also a symbol of nobility and refinement. As a trusted member of the royal family, Andrade would have been responsible for the training and care of the horses used by the monarchy. His dedication to the art of horsemanship extended beyond his personal role, as evidenced by his authorship of this influential text. The book provided a comprehensive guide to the techniques and principles of horsemanship, making it an essential resource for those seeking to master the art. This photograph, a captivating glimpse into the past, offers a unique insight into the life of Manuel Carlos de Andrade and the importance of horsemanship in Portuguese culture during the late 18th century.
