Hi,
Been looking into the early period of Louis XIV's armies and was struck by the paucity of images of dragoons. We all know the famous image -
I can't seem to find anything earlier than that (1686). I know that many were created after the outbreak of the Dutch war, around 1675/76 so one might not expect many depictions of the first regiments.
I am aware of the Preben Kannick image of an officer in 1675, but it does not indicate what it was based on
So can anyone beat 1686?
