Das Preussische Heer unter Friedrich Wilhelm IV. Berlin: L. Sachse & Co., 1843-1845.
Very rare, first and only edition of magnificent suite of hand-coloured lithographic plates depicting the uniforms and arms of the Prussian army, presented in original wrappers. An excellent complete copy, this work beautifully catalogues the various ranks, uniforms and armaments of the armed forces of Friedrich Wilhem IV (r. 1840-1861). The suite of plates is a continuation of the collection edited by L. Elsholz, C. Rechlin, and J.

Berckenhagen/W. 194-196; Bobins II, 394; Colas 2420; Glasser 473; Hiler 722; Lipperheide Qdb 44; Vinet 2163.
In 6 parts, folio (377 x 288mm). 36 lithographic plates coloured by a contemporary hand, loose as issued (very light offsetting and spotting, plates remarkably clean). In original printed brown wrappers (occasionally lightly creased, issue number added in manuscript); housed in brown cloth clamshell box, with paper label to spine.
