Die Uniformierung der k.k. Armee 1792 – 1815
von
Alex Carmes
This new release contains
the complete collection of hand-colored engravings
published by Tranquillo Mollo
that accompanied the implementation of the new 1798 regulation
of the uniforms of the Austrian Army
KININGER, V.
G. / MANSFELD, J.G.,
„Abbildung der neuen Adjustirung der K.K. Armee“
as well as
a hardly known collection of hand-colored engravings
representing the Austrian Army in its appearance about 1814
based on a revised version of the 1798 copperplates
published as
Anon.
[KININGER, V.G / MANSFELD, J.G. ],
„Abbildung der neuen K.K. Oesterreichischen Armee Uniformen“
With these two works Tranquillo Mollo published
two of the most significant Austrian uniform works
In addition to these 83 full-color reproductions
the book also contains
plates edited by Mollo from 1798 to about 1814
which show the appearance of the Austrian soldiers at the respective date.
These 102 full-color reproductions
(with additional comparative graphical material)
are juxtaposed in pairs on
54 full-color pages
They, in turn, are complemented by
11 full-page full-color scenes
that present groups of soldiers in their daily life,
most of them previously unreleased.
The above-mentioned Tranquillo Mollo editions are
followed up by more than 90 full-color pages
representing the Austrian soldier as he appeared
throughout the NAPOLEONIC WARS
as seen by artists such as
Seele, Kobell, Klein, Adam
as well as other contemporary eye witnesses.
Almost all of these large-sized pages contain several pictures, some of them portraits or battle-scenes.
<<
In his work the author analyses an occurrence unique in Europe at that time, namely the development of a coherent iconography over a period of 17 years through successive adaptations of the original copperplates of 1798 whenever it appeared necessary.
On more than 110 pages he comments the illustrations, compares the Mollo plates with the pictures of other contemporary artists and publishers, regularly drawing on written documents, and he describes the gradual evolution of uniforms and equipment in the course of the Napoleonic era meticulously.
A multitude of footnotes are complemented by a full BIBLIOGRAPHY.
The APPENDICES take up more than 40 pages; most of which deal with facing colors. The reproduction of two tables dated 1807/8 and 1815 with color samples for each unit provides an idea of what the contemporary nomenclature stood for.
