EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario in 1829, showcases the impressive uniforms of the Portuguese cavalry from the 1800s. The image features three cavalrymen standing proudly in a courtyard, two from the Legion of Algorna and one from the Regiment of Alcantara. The Portuguese Army's cavalry was renowned for its grandeur and military might, reflecting the country's rich history and cultural influences. The cavalrymen are dressed in their full regalia, adorned with intricate designs, gold braid, and distinctive insignia. The uniforms are a fusion of European and Moorish influences, a testament to Portugal's complex history. The riders wear tall, peaked helmets, embellished with lion crests, and their chests are bedecked with medals and orders. Their tunics are adorned with red and green stripes, while their breeches are white, and their boots are high and polished. The setting of the image is a magnificent Moorish-style patio, reminiscent of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. The patio is adorned with intricate arches, columns, and Islamic geometric designs, adding to the exotic and alluring atmosphere of the scene. The presence of the lions at the base of the columns further emphasizes the Moorish influence. This engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion and military history of Portugal during the 1800s. It provides a unique insight into the Ottoman Empire's influence on European military uniforms and the cultural fusion that occurred during this period. The image is a beautiful and intricate work of art, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the Portuguese cavalry and the richness of its history.
