One of the most interesting and thrilling pictures is the movement of a squadron of German cavalry. The line is seen advancing until a rank of mounted horsemen draws up and seems to halt abreast of the observer. The riders dismount, spring to their horses’ heads and stand at attention holding the bridles. For a few moments the observer is occupied with watching the beautiful horses, noting every movement of their head, the glances of intelligence in their eyes as they turn in surprise toward the camera that is photographing them and seem to look directly at the audience.Evening Star, Washington, 21 janvier 1897, p. 12.
