- The binding has the title “Hochfürstlich Hessen-Casselischer Krieges-Staat vom Jahr 1760 bis zum 1786.” 528 pages. Included in this bound manuscript are 63 colored uniform drawings, 12 drawings of infantry regimental colors, a drawing of the Orden pour la vertu militair and a page bearing the score of a march. In addition to the above drawings, this manuscript has various details on the Hessian army.
E 195/4. Hessen-Casselsche Uniformen 1788.
- Approximately 220 pages. This bound manuscript is a review of the Hessian military during the reign of Landgraf Friedrich II, 1760-1785. It contains 63 regimental uniform drawings in color, notes on organizational data, and the names of Chefs and Commandeurs. Many of the uniform drawings contain marginal notes relative to uniform changes. The notes cover the approximate period of 1760-1788. Internal evidence indicates that this manuscript was probably prepared about 1783, with many notes added during the years 1783-1788. Bound with this manuscript are two colored prints from an engraved uniform series of 1787 entitled Hochfürstlich Hessisches Corps.
- E 195/5. J.C. Müller. Hochfürstlich Hessisches Corps. Cassell, 1789.
- This small book of uniform illustrations only contains 19 colored engravings depicting regular corps and 8 drawings depicting a non-commissioned officer of a different Land Regiment. The drawings were apparently added at a later date.
- This bound manuscript contains 33 folios. The first folio bears the title of this work while the remaining 32 folios contain colored uniform drawings of all the corps in Hessen-Cassel and Hessen-Hanau service, circa 1775 plus columns headed Errichtung, Chefs, Stärke and Garnison. Bound with this manuscript are two hand-colored prints from the engraved uniform series of 1787.
