Persian Soldiers in the Pay of Russia - from an original sketch, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Persian Soldiers in the Pay of Russia - from an original sketch, 1854. The Persians...are armed with percussion muskets; so far have the modern improvements in warlike implements penetrated already...This regiment, commanded by General Prince Beboudoff, is the most picturesque in attire of any in the Russian service, and the tout ensemble presented by the appearance of the soldiers, when mounted on their Arabian steeds, has quite a gorgeous effect. The material of their clothing is fine cloth for the surcoat; the underdress, tight fitting, is of silk, as also the lining of the long loose open sleeves, and full Turkish trousers...Their peaked caps are of the short soft black wool of the Caucasian lambs. These Persian soldiers are slim and well made, with long oval faces, handsome features, and olive complexions; and their bearing and manner are frank and chivaleresque'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
