Russian campaign in 1812. Unfortunately, both slow to work with, as much
influenced by banner ads and other stuff.

Ottenfeld & Teuber; plus lots lots more).

"Augsburger
uniform or Series" covering 1802-1810. Almost every nation of the
time was represented with at least one sheet, which was usually 5 per nation,
including 2 each for the infantry and cavalry (often divided into light and
heavy forces) and 1 for the artillery. Amongst these amazing plates are very
interesting illustrations of Ottoman troops & Cossacks.

site containing images of the French and Russian uniforms of the
Napoleonic Wars. The French plates were made by Veyland, Martinet around 1812,
while the Russian plates are by Kill, Gubarev and Sokolsky.
http://www.napoleon-online.de/fieffe_fremdtruppen.html Illustrations
from the great standard work on the foreign troops of France prepared in 1854
in 2 volumes of Eugène Fieffé published under the title “
Histoire des
Troupes étrangères au service de France depuis leur origine jusqu'à nos jours
et de tous les leves dans les pays Regiment conquis sous la Première République
et le'Empire”.
Kingdom of Italy:
Austria:
http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/organization/Austria/c_Mollo.html Taken
from a copy of
Abbildung der Neuen Adjustirung der K.K. Armee by
Tranquillo Mollo and Joseph George Mansfield. These illustrations cover the
uniforms of the Imperial Austrian Army from around 1798. In the Colas this
source is indicated as 1796-1798. The very high degree of detail of the
different types of uniform, both in the front and the back opinion, makes these
illustrations an invaluable source for researching the Austrian Army from the
early years of the Napoleonic Wars until 1805.
