EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional process of breaking in a young cavalry horse for the 3rd Hussars in the late 19th century. The image, taken around 1890, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British Army during the Victorian era. The horse, likely an Asian breed acquired for the Imperial forces, is being trained by a skilled handler, who is expertly guiding the young animal through the intricacies of military drills and maneuvers. The horse, with its ears pricked and eyes focused intently on its trainer, shows signs of both apprehension and determination. The scene is set against the backdrop of a rustic stable, with hay bales and farm tools visible in the background. The use of an albumen or collodion process print adds to the historical authenticity of the image, capturing the rich textures and details of the setting and the subjects. This photograph is a testament to the hard work and dedication required to maintain the grandeur and might of the British Empire's military forces during this era. It is a poignant reminder of the cultural and historical significance of the 1880s and 1890s, a time of great change and expansion for the British Empire. This image offers a unique perspective on the traditional methods of horse training and the daily life of the British Army during this period, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical or cultural imagery.
