Among these, in an attempt to restore pride and confidence was a change in dress uniforms. This change reversed the draconian reforms of Alexander III in 1881 when simple peasant style uniforms were adopted and all cavalry became dragoons. Now the hussars, lancers and cuirassiers returned (the latter converted to dragoons) with distinctive and attractive uniforms. Not least of these affected the Imperial Guard where uniforms reached their apogee in terms of magnificence. Here, in schematic form is the work of V. Schenk whos illustrations on the Russian Army depicted the entire armed forces. We depict those uniforms of the Imperial Guard in this volume and will address the rest of the army in another. (51 plates with notes). Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
