[PETTENKOFFER, August (1822-1889) and Josef Anton STRASSGSCHWANDTNER (1826-1881)]
Die k. k. Österreich‘sche Armée nach der neuesten Adjustirung. Vienna: Verlag der Kunsthandlung Alois Leykum, [n.d. but c. 1854].
Complete suite with rare lithographic title, the plates depicting the uniforms of the Austrian army. 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 equally was a student of the Viennese Art Academy (1843-5). In a similar fashion to his collaborator, his main artistic focus was depicting military and hunting scenes. Bobins II, 381; Colas 2337; De Ridder 60; Hale p.705; Lipperheide Qc 21 (illustrated); Vinet 2172.
Folio (592 x 422mm). Lithographic title, 36 lithographic plates, plates coloured by contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic (scattered spotting throughout, adhesion causing some surface loss to plates 23 and 24). 20th-century library cloth, all leaves on guards, spine with black label lettered in gilt (extremities rubbed, chips to spine affecting gilt lettering).
