Hi guys, maybe some of you didnt heared about the Vinkhuizen collection. A dutch doctor (1843-1910)
who collected as a hobby old prints showing military uniforms from all periods. In this unique collection
are lots of drawings from the napoleonic period, before and after it. Some of the showed units are rare,
and its often difficult to find more drawings of them, this also goes for example for the 1814-1815 dutch
army units etc etc.

Re: Good Uniform source: Vinkhuizen collection
Excellent source, thanks for sharing.
Read a napoleonic first hand account of a Hessian serving under the french flag
Athenians: For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses - either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed;.......... since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
