A fresh copy of this handsome work containing eight Russian military uniforms during the Napoleonic Wars. This is the second issue of this work with the portrait dated 1814, instead of 1806 for the first issue.
A fine collection of Russian military costumes. Colas suggests that the plates could be by Alexander Orlowski on stylistic grounds. The plates are as follows:
1. The Body Guard.
2. Foot Guards.
3. Chasseur Guards.
4. Guard at Night.
5. Infantry.
6. A Sailor.
7. A Soldier of the Police.
8. A Cossack.
Second issue; folio (37.5 x 28 cm); 8 hand-coloured engraved plates, engraved portrait frontispiece (dated 1814), title and dedication leaves, 'MN Bibliotheque militaire' blue stamp on front free endpaper, frontispiece just starting to come away from stub, otherwise internally a fine copy; later red cloth, flat spine lettered in gilt, a touch of rubbing to extremities.
