Title Sepia photo of Austrian Hussars
Nationality British
Period c 1880-90
Price £40.00

This sepia photograph, pasted on a card page torn from a British military album, shows a KuK Hussar regiment on parade. There are officers and trumpeters in front, with the bulk of the regiment in double files behind. The caption in English underneath simply says 'Austrian Hussars'.

The photograph measures 22 x 17cm. There is some buckling and shrinkage of the card backing and the left hand side of the photo has minor abrasion damge to the detail. The overall colour is a somewhat yellowed sepia.

I received the cockade today and am very pleased!

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
