Spanish Army uniforms. Notes and sketches on the uniforms of the Spanish army in 1878. [Manuscript] Sl [Paris], sd (1893). Square folio of [4] ff. of text and 38 plates of uniforms, finely hand-drawn and watercolored on drawing paper (30.5 x 23 cm), mounted on strong paper on tabs, and each captioned with a handwritten sheet opposite, all in large, highly legible handwriting, brown half-maroquin with corners, ornate ribbed spine, mosaic pieces bearing the colors of Spain and forming a flag at the head of the spine, double gilt fillet on covers, gilt head (period binding). A very fine copy. Superb and exceptional album of uniforms. Taking advantage of Spain's participation in the 1878 Universal Exhibition, the 2nd Bureau of the French General Staff, with the consent of the interested parties, wanted to take copies of the uniforms of the corps present in the inter-army military detachment that accompanied the Spanish pavilion to Paris. This work was entrusted to squadron leader Lahalle, who signed the introduction to the collection (dated November 18, 1879). It was he who took the sketches from life and wrote the captions, partly based on the regulatory documentation kept at the General Staff. The result was a single copy, kept at the 2nd Staff Office. It reproduces 38 uniforms, distributed as follows: King's Household (8 plates). - Infantry (9 plates). - Cavalry (11 plates). - Artillery (2 plates). - Engineers (4 plates). - Auxiliary corps (Guardia Civil and Carabinieros, 4 plates). Subsequently, in 1893, an apparently unique COPY was made at the request of Captain Charles-Marie-Jacques-Octave Exelmans (1854-1935), grandson of the Marshal, for his uncle, the famous collector Auguste Balsan (1836-1896). This is the copy we present, with Balsan's ex-libris vignette (number 478), engraved by Stern. Presented, along with the rest of the Balsan collection, at the 1910 public auction, the album was chosen by the heirs to be offered to Colonel Exelmans, former military attaché to Spain and Portugal from 1892 to 1898, the same person who had authorized the copying work, as attested by a handwritten note pasted on the first endpapers, and dated Grand-Broutay (Exelmans family residence) August 4, 1910.
