About the book >.>.> For many years the magnificent color prints published by the firm of Rudolf Ackermann during the 19th century have been in the possession of lucky collec- tors. However with the passing of many years these frail works of art have be- come damaged or have perished so that many are not available to those who wish to find and appreciate the work and care which went into these productions. Al- though there were no European wars for the British troops during the years cov- ered in this volume there were still cam- paign opportunities throughout the widely spread Empire: the South African conflicts the First Afghan War the Scinde Campaign followed by the Sikh Wars Punjabi Campaign and the Crimean War. This book presents a pe- riod in British military uniform history which has not been well covered before. and allows an appreciation of these rare prints in beautiful color. (MP)
