Adolph Menzel. "Die Armee Friedrichs Des Grosen In Ihrer Uniformierung." (The Uniforms of Frederick the Great's Army). Verlag Von Martin Oldenbourg, Berlin, [1904]. 66 of the 100 color plates after the original watercolor studies by the great military artist, Adolph Menzel, published in the second edition (the first in the 1850s) of hi monumental work on the uniforms of the Prussian Army during the period of the Seven Years' War. The quality of image reproduction in the first edition was inferior to the prints in the 1904 edition, which is why this 1904 edition is more desirable to students of military dress today. Each print is 14 x 10 inches and all are housed under acetate or clear plastic sleeves in two large ring binders. Purchased in 2003 from the late COL Brooke Nihart, former Chief of History, USMC. CONDITION: very good, colors strong and paper clean.
