Belgium, Luxemberg & Switzerland Military Uniforms Reference Collection

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Matomaton military uniforms reference collection for wargamers.

Twenty-two images of the armies of Belgium, Luxemberg and Switzerland from 1770 to 1862.

This PDF contains reproductions of the actual pages from Richard Knotel's famous Uniformenkunde, a key source in the study of military uniforms for many years.   The scanned pages have been cleaned/corrected, ordered chronologically and assembled into PDFs by nation.

Details

This collection contains images of the armies of the other European nations not included in my larger collections (Belgium, Luxemberg & Switzerland) from 1770 to 1862.

The PDF contains the following pages:

-- Three pages for the cover, information and legalese.

-- Twenty-two images, one per page.   Each page is complete, including the original text above and below the reference image (no English translation included).   

-- Where multiple states or cities are included in a single PDF there are pages separating each section.

Each collection is provided in a smaller, low resolution version and a high resolution version.

About Richard Knotel

Born in Glogau in 1857, Knotel was taught by his artist father and went on to work as an illustrator before studying art at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts.   He had a lifelong fascination with military history and began his most famous work, Uniformenkunde, soon after leaving the Academy.    The work grew into a huge collection of colour plates detailing a wide range of uniforms from the late 1700s to the early twentieth century.

About Matomaton

I've long been fascinated by military history and the development of military uniforms through the years.   Having had high quality scans of Knotel's illustrations for some time, I thought that other people might share my interest, particularly other wargamers looking for reference material when painting miniatures.

If you would prefer these images to be organised in a different manner (by troop type, period, etc) please let me know and I'll try to get an appropriate PDF up on the site.

Legal

These PDF files may not be resold or redistributed.   If you are interested in using copies of the individual plates for use in commercial projects, please contact me via my website.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
