Army of the Blue King folio 3 from the Brown Collection part 2

And here are the Cavalry, Artillery and Technical plates.



























I will add the remaining B/W folios and also the text from the book as time allows.

Plenty more images from a variety of sources before we leave the Max Emanuel period!!!

This link should take you to the PDF files holding some of the original sized black and white illustrations from The Army of the Blue King 1682 - 1694.

Army of the Blue King folio 3 from the Brown Collection part 1

This is the third full folio held at the Ann Brown collection that had hand colored plates done for the collection.  The fist folio I posted were the same ones used in the latest reprint featuring colored illustrations that was released about 2 years ago.  This third folio to my knowledge has never been made available in complete form before.


































You can see that the mid-blue is a little darker than other folio prints and probably closer to what they actually looked like when issued.

In future posts I'll add the cavalry and artillery.
