The original 19th Century engraving is of an 18th Century
dragoon in colonial New Spain (Mexico), from a series of fasicules (small books) edited by Osprey. The fascicule in which this engraving appears has the title La cavalerie de la Nouvelle-Espagne (The cavalry of New-Spain).
The original series is reprinted by DelPrado Editeurs (4 rue de Rome, 75008 Paris) in a serial, L'histoire de la cavalerie, that is sold in France with a series of figurines. The text of the original fasicules is reduced to a synopsis by editor Philip Haythornwaite. The fasicule La cavalerie de la Nouvelle-Espagne was reprinted in 2008.
