“As the Cavalry slowly faded away, the last cavalry poster, like a dying swan’s exquisite last song, is exceptional. Elegant cavalrymen are seen watering their horses on a placid river bank. After the introduction of cars, trucks, and planes the cavalry transitioned into a mechanized force” (Meehan, Cat. 53).
