Des Kriegers Laufbahn : ein Geschenk für die edle vaterländische militairische Jugend, für ihre Freunde und Erzieher

Trentsenśky, Matthias · 1830 · Trentsensky · 12 pictures

A hand-coloured lithographic album from 1830, published in Vienna by Trentsensky, presenting a soldier's career as a sequence of scenes for young military readers and their teachers. The four pictures show Napoleonic-era infantry in shakos, long coats and cross-belts in barracks yards, camp squares and rocky skirmishes, with bright flags and smoke that a designer could borrow for period military palettes and crowd staging.
