EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a fascinating piece of military history - the Mirliton, worn by the 11th Regiment of (Light) Dragoons in 1805. This unique headdress, made of metal and cloth, was originally popularized by the French Light Cavalry and is said to have been inspired by Oriental headwear. Interestingly, this distinctive cap was also adopted by German troops under the name Flugelmutze or winged cap. The "wing" effect was created by a cloth tail hanging freely from the crown. However, it seems that the 11th Light Dragoons did not wear this tail. The image showcases an other ranks soldier wearing this iconic mirliton.
