EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Ancient cavalry" takes us back in time to the era of horseback warriors. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print showcases a variety of equestrian figures from different ancient civilizations. The image depicts a Roman commander on horseback, exuding power and authority as he leads his troops into battle. A servant accompanies him, symbolizing the highest level of authority and serving as an aide to the commanding officer. The presence of a Roman knight further emphasizes their dominance on the battlefield. Amongst these Roman figures are also representations of other ancient cultures' cavalry units. A numidian runner is shown, highlighting their renowned speed and agility in combat. Another rider dons scale armor, showcasing their preparedness for warfare. Additionally, we see a dacoit rider from Dacia (modern-day Romania), representing yet another aspect of ancient cavalry forces. This print offers us a glimpse into the diverse world of ancient cavalry with its array of weaponry and distinct styles of horsemanship. It serves as a testament to humanity's long-standing fascination with mounted warfare throughout history. Displayed within private collections today, this remarkable piece originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790-1830. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty makes it an invaluable addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
