H. 3 : Artillerie
An 1840 Viennese plate book published by Trentsensky, part of a military series on artillery, showing horses and riders for soldiers and artists to study. The four plates are engraved studies of horses pulling gun carriages, mounted artillerymen in shakos, and horses in tandem and tandem-harness poses, drawn in fine parallel hatching on cream paper. A designer could take their clean, schematic figure drawing and the period uniforms and harness details as reference for historical or equestrian motifs.
