This print titled ""Span Your Pistol". 17th Century Cuirassier At Pistol Exercise" takes us back in time to the era of the British Army's origins. Published in 1868 as part of "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress And Equipment" this illustration showcases a soldier on horseback, fully suited in armor and protective gear. The focal point of the image is the cuirassier, a mounted cavalryman renowned for their armoured protection. The soldier is seen engaging in pistol exercise, highlighting their proficiency with firearms during combat. With his hand expertly spanning his pistol, he demonstrates both skill and precision. The intricate details of the suit of armor are truly remarkable. From the breastplate that shields vital organs to every piece meticulously designed for maximum protection, it exemplifies the dedication to safeguarding oneself on horseback during battle. Mounted atop a majestic steed, this cuirassier embodies strength and resilience while showcasing weaponry synonymous with seventeenth-century warfare. The combination of an armored soldier and a powerful horse creates an imposing presence that would have struck fear into enemies on the battlefield. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction brings history to life through this evocative image. It serves as a reminder of how far military tactics and equipment have evolved over time while honoring those who served bravely centuries ago.
