1766 Cavalry Decree Saddle Sash Tackle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the essence of the French cavalry soldier in the mid-18th century, following the significant uniform changes decreed in 1766. The soldier is depicted in profile, his stern expression conveying a sense of readiness and discipline. He wears the new uniform, which included a blue coat with red lapels, white waistcoat, and a red sash. The soldier's helmet, adorned with a plume, sits atop his head, while his sword, tucked into his belt, and tackle box, filled with essential tools, are slung over his back. The saddle, complete with a richly decorated cantle and leather fringes, rests on his horse, adding to the overall grandeur of the scene. The soldier's uniform was designed to instill fear in the hearts of the enemy and to project a sense of power and professionalism. The decree of 1766 marked a turning point in the appearance and organization of the French cavalry, setting the stage for their renowned military prowess in the centuries to come.
