Condition: New. Two-volume colour book with slipcase, 800 pages in total, with a wealth of photos, graphics, paintings and illustrations, large format: 29.5 x 26 cm Weight: 6 kg A definitive work on the edged weapons of the Habsburg armies.This lavishly produced, large-format, two-volume colour publication is the first scientifically grounded, comprehensive study of the swords, pallasches, sabres, and small swords carried by the Habsburg military over more than three centuries. From the early modern hereditary lands through the Holy Roman Empire to the Austrian Empire, these weapons evolved into a remarkable diversity of forms shaped by warfare, craftsmanship, rank, and representation. More than tools of combat, they were insignia of authority and powerful symbols of military identity.Volume I spans the early 17th century to the mid-18th century, from the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War to the end of the Seven Years' War-an era defined by profound transformations in military organisation, tactics, and armament. Featuring approximately 850 high-resolution photographs from public and private collections, this volume vividly documents the development of edged weapons alongside rigorously researched essays, detailed object analyses, and contextual interpretations.The first part draws on the exceptional holdings of the Styrian Armoury in Graz, one of the world's most important surviving collections of early modern arms. The second part re-examines the largely overlooked hand-drawn archive of Anton Dolleczek, artillery captain, museum official, and instructor at the Vienna Artillery Cadet School. His 1896 Monograph of Austro-Hungarian Bladed Weapons and Handguns-a foundational attempt to systematise 18th-century edged weapons-is critically reassessed and placed within a broader historical framework.Volume II continues from the mid-18th century to the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Central to this volume is the first systematic analysis of the "Economic Pattern Books," six handwritten volumes containing exquisitely precise drawings that document weapons, uniforms, and equipment introduced during the reforms of Joseph II and Field Marshal Lacy. Supplemented by contemporary artworks and rare lithographic sources such as the Schmideder sheets, this volume offers an unparalleled visual and analytical record of Habsburg edged weapons up to the first illustrated regulations.An essential resource for museums, collectors, auction houses, and the international art and antiques trade.Overseas clients please note: Due to excessively high wrapped weight shipping is weighted on this title.
