Post by: Gerald on April 01, 2018, 11:00:19 AM

Can someone tell me where these Ladies rider came from? anyone have an idea of the maker GP?
The engraver was Sixtus Maier the Elder.

Hello Christoph,

similar figures, but not these, because I got the mould from France  ;)

Dear Gerald,


I remember having read somewhere about a set of "Amazonen" i.e female riders being edited by Christian Gerard and Petrochocino (Armont) by the end of the 30ies.


I will check the old French Collectors Magazine when back from holidays.


Best regards


Alexander

First of all I would say the figures are based on the 19th century one of the ladies is ridding side saddle.  :o They other one I cant make it out. Didn't they make a fox hunt group ???
