What do I know about this print?
The print is a 5x7
The Whole piece is an 8x10 in a Not so nice frame
Perhaps Simple Black Thin Frame.
The print is sealed in this frame, I do not want to remove the backing to find out
if this is a Picture Cut out of an Old Magazine
Or a purchased Litho
There is No Certificate taped to the back
But Again I do NOT know what is under that tape!
Regardless, If there is a hidden 10,000 Bill behind that tape,
I do not buy what I do to win the lottery.
I buy what I do because someone out there Loves to collect such things
And will run across this post and It will make their day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Officers of the British Guard No. 43
1st Life Guards
The horse is A Sleek Pure Black Beauty
as the Officer sits Proudly saddled
I know there are Forum Groups that
Paint Miniatures of The British 1st Guards
From My understandings, The Original Prints are Either Hand colored
Or Water Colored.
Reprints are published by Connoisseur Publishing Co. 1909
of the original uniform plate published by Spooner 1830-40
from the series of 70 plates entitled Military & Naval Costumes
by L Mansion and L Eschauzier,
coloured by Martin C Bowen
Reprints on Modern paper can be purchased for as little as $35 unframed
Vintage paper prints are a bit harder to locate
(I'm having a heck of a time)
The paper of this print is yellowing due to age and the matte it's on or in
Is a reddish Tone but also faded.

From what I understand, The British Army Horse Officer Pictures
Are Much like the
No. 53 LA MODE ILLUSTREE ~ BUREAUX JOURNAL
Prints that display the Uniforms of the Officers in the British Army
as the La Mode Illustrations Displayed the fashions of High Society
There were several Horse Guards Documented
Here is a valuable website (Click) that has many Antique Lithos & their Pricings
This site has information on such pieces and opens in a new window.
I will continue to search for information on this print & the history of the man & horse.
~Here is some information on other prints I have found~
