Lot N. 228
L’ordinance du Roi du Décembre 1829” Charles X (Re di Francia dal 1757-1836, coppia di volumi)
Printed in Paris by the Royal Press, 1829.
Folio set in two volumes, with marbled boards, leather spine and corners. The first page of each volume bears the royal coat of arms.
The first volume focuses on cavalry maneuvers and exercises, describing them in detail and including diagrams at the end of the book showing the roles and responsibilities assigned to commanders.
The second volume consists almost entirely of plates illustrating cavalry soldiers and the formations they would adopt in parades and on the battlefield.
Both volumes are complete and in more than good condition. A rare and richly illustrated work on military equitation.
