The fundamental work of the outstanding military historian, adjutant of the General Staff Major-General A.V. Viskovatov (1804-1858) "Historical description of the clothing and armament of Russian troops, with drawings, compiled by the highest command" was published in St. Petersburg in 1841-1862. For this work, the author received the personal gratitude of Emperor Nicholas I, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences awarded this work the prestigious Demidov Prize.
The richly illustrated edition contained a detailed description of military uniforms and armaments for the period from the end of the ninth to the middle of the nineteenth century. The unique illustrative range (including hand-colored engravings) and the tiny print run immediately made Viskovatov's work a welcome gift for collectors and historians. Viskovatov's book is still one of the most sought-after sources of information on the history of military uniforms.
