UNIFORMS OF RUSSIAN ARMY IN THE XVIII CENTURY: Volume 3 (Catherine the Great) 1762-1796

1-2118610

Compiled at Saint Petersburg during the years from 1837 and 1851, the Historical Description of the Clothing and Arms of the Russian Army has had an enormous impact and great importance for the study on the history of Russian costume and uniformology development. Viskovatov's enormous work is based on a great quantity of archival documents and contains 4000 colored and b/w illustrations in 30 or 34 volumes (1st edition 1-30, St. Petersburg, 1841-62, and 2nd edition Vols. 1-34, St. Petersburg - Novosibirsk - Leningrad, 1899-1948).

The topics discussed start from the early czars until the late nineteenth century. Our new edition has enriched the book with the plates: we revised and colored many of the images so far available just in black and white, as well we found some rare color plates with the collaboration of private collectors.

Volume 3 includes 95 color plates.
