[FRENCH CAVALRY]

École Impériale de Cavalerie. Saumur: chez Javaud, [1869].

First edition of this splendid collection of lithographic illustrations of cavalry displays and manoevures. Mennessier de la Lance notes that this important work is not only interesting from the point of view of the exercises represented, but also that of the uniforms of the cavalry officers at the end of the second Empire. Saumur had replaced Versailles as the centre for the education of French cavalry officers following the closure of the academy at Versailles in 1830. Saumur also hosted the Royal School of French Cavalry which in 1853 became the Imperial School of Cavalry. Bobins IV, 1274; Mennessier de la Lance I, 436.



Large folio (700 x 550mm). Tinted pictorial lithographic title, engraved sectional title, lithographic panoramic view of the school of cavalry at Saumur, and 13 lithographic plates coloured by a contemporary hand. Modern dark-red straight-grained half morocco gilt over marbled boards, morocco label on upper cover.
