Saxon Uniforms in the Year 1834 in Original Watercolors by Friedrich (Fritz) Neumann
The following shows a collection of original watercolors depicting exclusively Saxon uniforms by Friedrich (Fritz) Neumann. The 16 watercolors were loose in an old folder bearing the inscription: The Royal Saxon Army. 1834. Neumann was a uniform painter of the 19th century who did not leave a unified oeuvre. He is likely the author of the article on uniform works in the Royal Collections in Dresden, published in Communications on the History of Military Dress (1893, No. 12). There he identifies himself as inspector at the Royal Court Theatre in Dresden and reports that he (H.? Neumann) has for years been engaged in producing uniform pictures of all times and peoples for collectors and enthusiasts. Richard Knötel also gratefully refers elsewhere to this uniform painter.

Depictions of the English-German Legion's Uniforms.
The English-German Legion (King’s German Legion) is one of the most famous units of the Napoleonic Wars. Founded in 1803, it consisted of infantry, cavalry and artillery and was recruited primarily from officers, NCOs and privates of the former Hanoverian army. Later, other nationalities were also accepted, except for Frenchmen and Italians. The uniforms followed the British model, as did the organizational structure of the respective units. However, the typical (Waterloo) shako was initially worn by the infantry of the English-German Legion and was only introduced into the British army in 1812.
