EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Verico, from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1844, offers a captivating glimpse into the Imperial Army of the Holy Roman Empire during the 19th century. The image depicts a group of Uhlan or Lancers light cavalrymen, their horses prancing and ready for action. Uhlan regiments were an essential part of the Imperial Army, known for their agility and speed on the battlefield. The Uhlan soldiers are dressed in their distinctive uniforms, featuring blue-grey jackets, red trousers, and white breeches. They wear tall, fur-trimmed busbies and carry sabres and lances. In the background, we see other Imperial Army units, including sappers, miners, engineers, and pontoniers. These support units played a crucial role in fortification building, mining, and bridge construction during military campaigns. This engraving is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century illustration. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable historical record of military fashion and the organization of the Imperial Army during this period. The image also underscores the multifaceted nature of military life, with various units working together to ensure the success of military operations.
