12 figures in 6 poses with 6 horses in 6 poses. In many ways dragoons were the backbone of cavalry in the early 19th century. They did not have the glamour of the cuirassiers or hussars, and therefore they were much cheaper, which may have helped their proliferation. In the Russian army the number of dragoon regiments rose during the Napoleonic Wars until it reached 36 when, in 1812, fully half of these regiments were converted into other forms of cavalry. This set is dated 1812-15, a period which saw the slow destruction of Napoleon’s empire, due in considerable measure to the Russian army and men such as these.
