German woodcuts and printmaking of XVI century contains some most interesting images regarding early hussars and light cavalry development. Masters like Dürer, Burgkmair, and Beham are just a few artist perfecting this craft while working on a project for the Holy Roman Emperor Maximiliam I or the WeissKunig (White King).
There are some examples:

My own little sketch, with a woodcut print insert from a book by XVI century Polish poet and hussar himself Adam Czahrowski, the book titled 'Treny i Rzeczy Rozmaite" www.pbi.edu.pl/book_reader.php?p=55204
, (author of this famous poem - Duma_ukrainna here sung by Polish famous musician Czeslaw Niemen Niemen Duma , and also performed by historian, historical music singer and researcher Jacek Kowalski jacek_kowalski_duma_ukrainna ).
Pan Czahrowski, hot-headed and warlike nobleman like many of that turbulent period of last quarter of XVI century, after fighting and losing against the Crown grand hetman Zamoyski's army at Battle_of_Byczyna fled to Hapsburg Hungary and fought there for almost 10 years as a hussar comrade (among others he participated in the defense of fortress of Gran), even wrote a letter about his movable estate pawned with Kosice(then Upper Hungary) merchants.

I learned a good many things from his videos and guidance, and I share his love for push-up finger-tip push-ups by Jack - May you train angels in heaven, Master Jack - Pacem Aeternam!
