Waffenhandlung von den Rören, Musquetten undt Spiessen : gestalt nach der Ordnung des ... Herrn Moritzen, Printzen zu Oranien, Graffen zu Nassaw u. Gubernatorn ... über ... Hollandt ...
A 1608 military drill manual by Jacob de Gheyn, published by Baudous and written in German for the armies of Prince Maurice of Orange-Nassau in the Dutch Republic, as its title on the handling of pikes and muskets shows. Its engravings show a single soldier in plumed morion and layered armour, posed in successive drill positions against a plain ground, which suits a designer studying early modern costume, posture and the stiff, staged geometry of historical figures.
