Other albums show uniforms of European armies of the same period, one dedicated to Archduke Rainer of Austria in 1897 containing portraits of officers, while another has 80 mounted photographs of the French R\u00e9giment des Guides taken between 1854 and 1866.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several interesting items combine lithographed prints with photographs. Two 19th-century <a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Doppel.jpg\">German service certificates<\/a> include photographic portraits of the named soldiers, cut out and mounted on the print. The centenary of the siege of Yorktown is represented by two large portfolios prepared for Count Rochambeau and presented in 1882. These contain numerous hand-colored photographs depicting members of state militias such as the image above showing uniforms worn by the Rhode Island troops in 1881.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Gallery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/collections\/askb\/veterans\/\">Napoleon\u2019s Veterans<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Vitry_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"a veteran of Napoleon's army\" class=\"wp-image-3233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Vitry_thumbnail.jpg 125w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Vitry_thumbnail-100x133.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><figcaption>A veteran of Napoleon&#8217;s army, posing<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/collections\/askb\/bourne\/\">Samuel Bourne\u2019s India<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"175\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bourne_taj_agra_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Taj, Agra\" class=\"wp-image-2961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bourne_taj_agra_thumbnail.jpg 175w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bourne_taj_agra_thumbnail-100x85.jpg 100w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bourne_taj_agra_thumbnail-150x128.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><figcaption>Taj, Agra <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/collections\/askb\/beato\/\">Felice Beato&#8217;s Lucknow<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"175\" height=\"148\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/beato5_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Moti Mahal Gateway\" class=\"wp-image-3074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/beato5_thumbnail.jpg 175w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/beato5_thumbnail-100x85.jpg 100w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/beato5_thumbnail-150x127.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><figcaption>Moti Mahal Gateway <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/collections\/askb\/burke\/\">John Burke\u2019s Afghanistan<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"175\" height=\"137\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/burke2_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Officers of the 10th Hussars, Jellalabad, 1879\" class=\"wp-image-3133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/burke2_thumbnail.jpg 175w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/burke2_thumbnail-100x78.jpg 100w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/burke2_thumbnail-150x117.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><figcaption>Officers of the 10th Hussars, Jellalabad, Afghanistan <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bb Return to Collection List Original Photographs While prints and engravings of uniforms are important, they don&#8217;t always tell the truth in terms of what exactly was worn by soldiers.
