Cuirassiers a cheval (1896)
Directed by Auguste & Louis Lumiere this is an early short film. Armoured men on horse back charge the camera.
On the way to becoming consigned to history the subjects of this film are shown in their last moment of glory. With World War 1 looming cavalry of the type on show here is about to go the way of the dodo. A nice little piece of history captured just before it fades away.
3/5
