Carbines Ready by Felician Myrbach [Postcard]

Artist: Felician Myrbach [Browse all Felician Myrbach]

Cavalry units during the Napoleonic Wars utilised carbines
to great effect. The carbine came in at around 10 inches shorter
than the standard infantryman's musket and thus allowed for better
manoeuvrability while mounted. Paired with the carbine would
be either a light curved sabre or a heavy straight sabre depending
on the type of cavalry and battlefield role.
Taken from the original book plates published 1893.
