Halt!- Charge of Lancers at the Royal Military Tournament, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and thrilling photograph taken from the pages of "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 41, published between January and June of 1890. The image captures the intensity and excitement of a cavalry charge during the Royal Military Tournament of that year. In the foreground, a lancer in full regalia, his steed poised and ready, halts his charge, his lance held high and steady. Behind him, a sea of horses and riders, their faces set with determination and focus, charge forward. The photograph, a testament to the photographic techniques of the late 19th century, showcases the raw power and grace of the cavalry regiment. The Royal Military Tournament was an annual event held in London, showcasing military pageants, displays, and competitions. This photograph, taken during one such event, provides a glimpse into the world of Victorian warfare and the role of the cavalry in the British military. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat, are a sight to behold, their powerful muscles straining as they charge forward. The riders, their faces set in concentration, are a picture of discipline and determination. The lance, a deadly weapon, held high and ready, is a reminder of the fierce battles that these men were trained to fight. This photograph, though unsigned, is a valuable addition to any collection of military history or 19th century imagery. It offers a unique perspective on a bygone era, a time when warfare was a spectacle, and the cavalry regiments were the epitome of military might. The image, with its raw energy and intensity, is a testament to the skill and bravery of the men and horses who served in the British cavalry during the Victorian era.
