Uniformes des troupes de l'Electorat de Hesse-Cassel - 1776-1786 - Vol.I

Uniformes des troupes de l’Électorat de Hesse-Cassel (1776–1786), Vol. I is an illustrated reference work devoted to the uniforms, equipment, and visual appearance of the military forces of Hesse-Kassel during the late 18th century. It is part of a multi-volume study that reconstructs the dress and organization of one of the most militarily significant German principalities of the period.

The book focuses on the period surrounding the American Revolutionary War era, when the army of Hesse-Kassel was widely known for supplying auxiliary troops to Britain and other European powers. It provides detailed plates and descriptions of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and specialist units, showing variations in coats, facings, headgear, weapons, and regimental distinctions.
