EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the uniform of the First Division of Cavalry in the Russian Army, as it appeared in 1854 during the Crimean War. The image, taken from the "Cassells Illustrated Family Paper; London Weekly" of December 31, 1853 to December 30, 1854, showcases the distinctive attire of the Russian cavalrymen, including the iconic Cossack headdress and fur-trimmed greatcoats. The scene is set against a backdrop of open countryside, with a lone rider on horseback at the center, flanked by two other soldiers on their horses. The trio of men are dressed in the uniform of the Russian Lancers, complete with blue tunics, red trousers, and white waistcoats. The Cossacks, identifiable by their tall, fur-trimmed hats, wear dark coats with white collars and cuffs, and carry sabers and lances. The uniforms of the Russian Army during this period were an essential aspect of military identity and played a significant role in inspiring fear and respect on the battlefield. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a pivotal moment in Russian military history, and this engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the appearance of the First Division of Cavalry during this time. The intricate details of the horses, their trappings, and the soldiers' equipment add to the authenticity of the image, making it a valuable historical document and an essential addition to any collection focused on military history, fashion, or the 19th century.
