Baron d’Eben
Baron Eben, full name Christian Adolph Frederick d'Eben, was a Prussian officer and artist.
Baron Eben, descended from an old Prussian family in Silesia, entered the English service in 1800 and served in the 10th Regiment of the Prince of Wales's Light Dragoons. By order of the Prince of Wales, he created a company of light cavalry in the manner of the Hungarian Hussars, composed of foreigners. He also made original drawings, which, in the form of bright aquatints by the engraver Nicholas Heideloff, were included in a 29-page manual entitled "Remarks on the Organization and Present State of the Swedish Army". Eben dedicated this work to the Prince of Wales.
