Hello,
Today I'm showing you one of my Silbermann plates. It's numbered 9 and depicts French Carabiniers. There are several variants of this plate; in addition to the one shown here with 12 riders, there's also a version with only 9 riders. There exist also different color variations of the trousers.
In the first row, you can see a brigadier (corporal), a sergeant, an officer, and a trumpeter. Below them are two rows of enlisted soldiers.
This print was first published in 1845. I suspect that the version shown here is the "later" version and was available until 1870.
At least, the subsequently printed advertisement on the back suggests this.
The figures scale is about 8 cm. From helmet peak to base, they measure approximately 12.5 cm.
Best regards,
Andreas
