These are from the Estate of a dear friend who remembers his grandfather's collection of military images lining his study walls. This is from that collection. They are prints that are hand colored engravings that were originally illustrated pages from the book entitled K.K. Oesterreichische Armée nach der neuen Adjustirung, that was published in 1837 by Matthias Trentsensky. (Austrian Army after the new Adjustments)

Each one has three Austrian Army Staff Officer images, exhibiting their updated dress uniforms and horsemanship skills. Beneath each image is the title of the Staff Officer position in German.

Jager - Hunter
Artilerie - Artillery
Ober-Officier des Generalquartiermeisterltabs - Senior Officer General Quartermaster
Fuhrwesen - Transportaion
Czaikisten - Czaikists (?)
Pontoniers - Pontooners

Each of the images has the notation Herausgegeben von M Trentsenky in Wien No. 6 or No.8 which translates to Published by M. Trentsenky in Vienna.

The paper for the images appears to be rather thin and darkened with age and there is some areas where other slight age staining appears to be in evidence as well. They are both professionally framed in identical gold antiqued wood frames with inner black beveled detail. The images are enhanced by neutral colored mats with a thin black inner mat closest to the images. They are both behind art quality glass. The backs have brown finishing paper and hanging wires.

The images have the aging as noted above but I do not believe this is since they have been framed, but rather from their antique age. The frames are very structurally sound, not loose corners or significant nicks in the edges or corners. They have an antiquing finish and it is in very good condition.

There is also a set of four similar images of 1790s French military in a separate posting. It may be of interest as well.
