Légende

Sketches of Native Life in India - Sikh Horse, 1858. 'We are indebted to the sketch-book of Mr. Marshall Claxton for the...series of characteristic Sketches of a few of the manners, habits, and customs of the natives of India...a beautiful Sikh Horse...[which] stands fifteen hands high, is of a cream colour, and has a very Roman nose. To those used to the warlike action of the European horse taking long strides the action of the Sikh horse is short, shambling, and peculiar; but when clothed in his Oriental trappings he commands the admiration of all beholders'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
