ca. 1890’s IMPERIAL SIZE CABINET CARD OF A CAVALRY
SOLDIER STANDING WITH HIS SADDLED HORSE - EXCELLENT
IMAGE IN A SCARCE OUTDOOR SETTING:
This is a particularly
nice cabinet card image of a ca. 1890’s cavalry corporal
standing with his saddled horse. The corporal is
dressed in his daily uniform of the five button blouse,
sky blue trousers and boots, and his horse is equipped
with a Model 1896 McClellan Saddle and Model 1892 Bridle
Bit. The corporal’s sabre is also hung from the
saddle.
Measuring 7 ¾”
by 9 ½” is mounted on photographer’s card stock which
bears the photographer’s name and address and measures
11” by 14”. The image is in very good to excellent
condition with crisp edges, and the mounting card has no
damage and only minor edge bumps.
This is a
desirable outdoor view of a cavalry trooper and his
equipped horse, considerably more unusual than the
standard in-house studio photographs of the period.
