A 1650 military treatise printed in Lyon by Pierre Anard, written by Jacques Collombon and Pierre Murgallé, presenting infantry drill, weapons training and the duties of officers and soldiers to military readers. The four plates are small engraved full-length figures of ranked officers and soldiers, each captioned in French, with stiff poses, plumed hats, pikes and halberds that a designer could use as a reference for period costume and character types.
