Bajonnetir-Reglement für die Grossherzoglich Hessische Infanterie
An 1836 bayonet regulation manual published in Darmstadt for the infantry of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, setting out how its soldiers were to handle and fix their bayonets. The four pencil-and-ink drawings show close-up views of soldiers' arms, hands and gripping positions with rifles and bayonet fittings, drawn in fine hatched line on cream paper, useful to a designer wanting clear diagrammatic hand and weapon poses.
