EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, taken from Captain John Cruso's "Instructions for the Cavalerie" of 1632, showcases an intriguing exercise of a horse in the context of military cavalry. The image, part of Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities respecting a History of the English Army," published in London by Stockdale in 1812, offers a fascinating glimpse into the equestrian drills of the early modern period. Captain Cruso's instructions were designed to train cavalry troops effectively, and this engraving illustrates one such exercise. The horse, adorned with elaborate armor, is shown performing a series of movements, including rearing up on its hind legs and lowering its head. The rider maintains a firm grip on the reins, his body poised and balanced, reflecting the skill and control required to execute such maneuvers. The intricate details of the horse's armor, with its decorative designs and protective features, are beautifully rendered in the engraving. The image also offers a glimpse into the rich history of military horsemanship, a crucial aspect of early modern warfare. The exercise depicted in this print was likely intended to improve the horse's agility, strength, and obedience, as well as the rider's ability to maintain control in various situations. This image serves as a testament to the importance of horses in military history and the intricate relationship between rider and steed. The meticulous craftsmanship of the copperplate engraving further highlights the attention to detail and dedication to preserving the history of military practices during this period.
