thanks so much for bringing attention to thi...Jon,<br /><br />thanks so much for bringing attention to this great resource. The offerings of the collection have formed a basis for much of my work as a reenactor, maker of goods for other reenactors, and as a park ranger. <br /><br />De Loutherbourg's work answered and simultaneously posed many questions about details and construction of British army uniforming and equipment in the 1770s. Even though the work is not in color, his notes on coloration for later usage in his Warley Camp paintings serve as a guide for us today in extrapolating (a fine word for "educated guessing") the uniforming of other units similarly clothed and supplied in the Army at that time. The devil, as well as the enjoyment, is truly in ferreting out the details!<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Roger FullerRoger Fullerhttp://www.nps.gov/mima/volunteer/noreply@blogger.com
