EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Greek method of mounting and riding a horse bareback, providing us with a glimpse into the equestrian practices of that era. The image showcases two cavalrymen, each displaying their unique approach to horseback riding. In the foreground, we witness one cavalier preparing to mount his steed by gripping both his lance and bridle in his right hand. With remarkable balance and skill, he places his right foot on an iron pin protruding from his lance, effortlessly hoisting himself onto the horse's back. This unconventional technique highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of ancient Greek riders. Meanwhile, in the background, another cavalier dons full-scale armor as he confidently rides a fully adorned horse. His regal presence is enhanced by the intricate barding covering both him and his loyal companion. A shield rests at his side while a helmet adorns his head, symbolizing strength and protection amidst battle. The hand-colored copperplate engraving adds depth and vibrancy to this historical illustration from Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World". Through this artwork by Giovanni Antonio Sasso, we are transported back in time to witness not only an ancient military practice but also gain insight into fashion trends prevalent during that period. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with history as it immortalizes moments from centuries past when horses were not just means of transportation but vital companions in warfare.
