About This Item

Wuerzburg, Christian Weiss, 1840 [but c. 1842]. . First edition; large 4to (35.5 x 26.5 cm); 138 lithographed plates with contemporary hand colour, comprising two coats of arms, 107 of uniforms and 29 schematic plates, uniform plates tipped in and heightened with gum arabic, publisher's blindstamp to lower margin, occasional marginal foxing, some ink annotations to schematic plates, a few repairs to the edge of leaves of schematic plates, plates overall very fresh; later green half morocco over original printed boards, spine faded, boards slightly stained and worn, a very good copy.
A collection of rare and possibly complete hand-coloured lithographs of russian military uniforms, issued as part of Saemmtliche Truppen von Europa published in parts between 1838 and 1843 in issues. Due to the serial publication complete sets are notably rare. Colas remarks that 'it is difficult to establish the exact content of this collection as, apart of the numerous variants, the known examples vary in content'. The plates include a series of very useful schemata showing the various colours of the ranks in each of the regiments.
Colas 935; Lipperheide 2120; Bobins 1137.
