1870I7CG8L8E69GQAustria or Saxony 1870. Large folio album 39 x 30.5 cm. Early 20th-century half tanned sheepskin green sheepskin sides sewn on 3 supports but with 7 false bands on the spine Von Lindeman Just in gold sans-serif capitals on spine. With 84 large watercolour drawings 28 x 16 cm to 25.5 x 36 cm on unwatermarked wove paper irregularly numbered 6 to 535 with captions in German and/or French mounted on the ca. 1962 album leaves and with the coat of arms of Von Lindemann of Sachsen-Anhalt in coloured gouaches plus gold mounted on the first otherwise blank page. 44 album ll. An extraordinary set of original watercolour drawings apparently unpublished celebrating the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire through the military events that led up to it and the uniforms of the various nations and regiments involved. Except for one drawing concerning 1631 the events depicted are dated from 1757 to 1852. Officers and others in uniform from every corner of the Empire are shown: Prussians Hungarians Austrians Poles Czechs Croats Dalmatians Transylvanians Serbians Bosnians and many more with a few examples of local militias and of foreign army regiments from France the Ottoman Empire Russia and the British Isles including kilted Scottish Grenadiers at Waterloo. A few appear in Islamic dress including turbans. Some show portraits of leading figures including Frederick the Great 1712-1786 King of Prussia and Mohammed Said Pasja 1822-1863 wali governor of Egypt. The uniforms are depicted in great detail with vivid and bright colours and some show the changes in uniforms at two or three different dates in a short span of years. The present set of 84 was no doubt part of a collection of at least 536. They may have been prepared for a publication that remained unrealised.The arms on the first page belong to the Von Lindemann family of Sachsen-Anhalt the binding has the name "Von Linden Just" on the spine and the first page bears a presentation inscription below the arms from the Freiin von Lindeman-Just dated from Augsburg 1962 to a relative in Italy.With occasional mostly marginal tears 3 drawings with significant tears into the image and 1 with a smaller one and occasional spots or small scuff marks but most of the drawings are in good or very good condition. The binding is somewhat rubbed but otherwise good. A wide-ranging view of military and quasi-military people and events with special emphasis on uniforms in the prehistory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire 1757-1852. ABE CAT Costumes & Uniforms unknown

Kept in a matching green half goatskin morocco clamshell box light green paper sides. With 12 aquatint costume plates plate size 32.5 x 23 cm in the publishers original hand-colouring with the original tissue guard leaf tipped onto each plate. 48 pp. Beautifully coloured copy with both a wide variety of bright colours and subtle shading of the rare first and only early edition of a series of large aquatint plates showing the uniforms of Napoleon's honour guards cavalry infantry and marine in 11 Dutch cities with the letterpress leaves providing both an explanation of the figures in the plates in French and Dutch and a list of the names of all the guards for each city. Since each city appears to have developed its own uniforms the colours and style vary greatly. "Not only visually attractive but also extremely rare" Legermuseum; "l'original est de la plus grande rareté" Colas.When the French Revolutionary army toppled the Dutch Republican government in 1795 they found much support in the population and established the nominally independent Batavian Republic under French-sympathisers. After Napoleon declared himself Emperor in 1804 he established his brother Louis Napoleon as King of the Netherlands in 1806 but finding him more partial to his subjects than to the French he recalled him in 1810 and annexed the Netherlands. The honour guard was first set up under Louis Napoleon's reign to receive him when he toured his realm but it was reconstituted in the form shown here in preparation for the Emperor Napoleon's visit to the recently annexed Netherlands.Book and binding in fine condition with only an occasional very minor spot tiny hole or smudge. The old wrappers mounted on the new binding are tattered.l Colas 2937 note 1904 facsimile with ref. to original; Landwehr Colour plates 457 2 copies; NCC 4 copies; Rijksmuseum BI-B-FM-104-0 http://hdl.handle.net/10934/RM0001.COLLECT.516556; Legermuseum Boek van de maand oktober 2011 https://legermuseum.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/boek-van-de-maand-november; WorldCat 5 copies; not in Hiler; Lipperheide.
