Die k. k. Österreich‘sche Armée nach der neuesten Adjustirung. Vienna: Verlag der Kunsthandlung Alois Leykum, [n.d. but c. 1854].

The Donaueschingen copy with original front wrapper, the plates drawn and lithographed by the foremost military painters of their time. Karl August von Pettenkofen became a student at the Viennese Akademie der bildenden Kunste in 1834. A decade later he joined the military and served in the Dragon Regiment of Louis I of Bavaria. During this time the artist found inspiration in the uniforms of the Austrian army and dedicated the following two decades to producing watercolours and lithographs of military garb. Anton Strassgschwandtner, also a student of the Viennese Art Academy (1843-5), similarly to his collaborator spent his career documenting and depicting military scenes. In this present suite, the two artist’s captuire the uniforms and armaments in sharp detail, situating the different regiments of the armed and naval forces in their operative settings. See Bobins II, 381; Colas 2337; De Ridder 60; Hale p.705; Lipperheide Qc 21 (illustrated); Vinet 2172.
