A 1619 military drill manual by Jacob de Gheyn, published in Zutphen, showing musketeers and pikemen performing arms drill for soldiers under Prince Maurice of Orange. The four hand-coloured pages show soldiers in plumed hats, breastplates and loose breeches, each with a numbered caption above the figure, so a designer can use them for the poses and period costume of early seventeenth-century Dutch infantry.
