E Fitzgerald's Seven Years War scenes

Trawling Anne SK Brown I found these paintings depicting troops of the 1760s - you might have seen them but they're new to me. Interesting. Not sure what to make of them. See the rest here

Herbert Knötel's colonial troops

This is an interesting set of uniform plates from 1949 depicting 12 examples of colonial troops for the SYW. See the set at Anne S K Brown.

Belehrungen über den Krieg: besonders über den kleinen Krieg, durch ... By Johann von Ewald

OK you have to be able to read German to enjoy this treatise on partisan warfare by one of the Hessian's most capable soldiers Johann Von Ewald.

Sauvage

Great Lakes Indian from the 1790s by an unknown French artist. Well worth studying if you haven't seen it before.

Revwar or F&I?

There's always a dilemma in this - for the mid 18th century - Revwar or F&I? Especially in the UK and Europe where geography doesn't play a part as in the US but my philosophy has always been do both. The periods are so close to count as one period in my opinion - not suggesting you wear the same kit for them but both wars were fought by to a certain extent the same individuals so it is hard to make a distinction and have an interest in just one. For example if you do an expensive uniform in one period maybe do a simple civilian in the other...it's the only way. And don't forget - the public think you're pirates anyway.

Hessians

Something we haven't had to my knowledge in the UK is anyone recreating the German troops that served the British Crown in the American war. There are however some great groups over in Germany recreating them and they have the advantage of being able to take part in the growing Seven Years War scene in Europe. And they speak German!

Early Patriots

I found this booklet in my shelves that came out in 1976 for the bicentennial - cost a princely 60p. There are some nice uncredited reconstructions that are of course very 1976 - I will post a few that I scan - here's a good one.
