EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the regal presence of a Captain of the Hungarian Guards from the 18th century. The image, created by Giarre and Stanghi for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and intricacy of Hungarian military fashion during this period. The Captain is depicted in the full uniform of his rank, which includes a pelisse, a short, double-breasted coat with lapels, worn over a white shirt and red waistcoat. His collar is adorned with gold lace, and his cuffs are fastened with silver buttons. The Captain's distinctive headgear, a fur-trimmed busby with a plume, sits atop his head, adding to his imposing appearance. The Hungarian Guards were an elite military unit, known for their skill and bravery on the battlefield. They were an essential part of the Habsburg Monarchy's military forces and played a significant role in defending the empire against various threats. The uniforms of the Hungarian Guards were not only symbols of their military prowess but also of their national pride and identity. This engraving is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Hungary during the 18th century. The intricate details of the Captain's uniform, the bold colours, and the regal pose all contribute to making this an exquisite and captivating historical illustration.
