The Prussian Army at Waterloo. S.l., at the author's, 1969, 26 x 34 cm, stapled text, 20 plates in sheets printed in phototypesetting and colored with stencils, navy blue cloth case and slipcase. This remarkable work, printed at 1030 numbered copies, gives a state of the Prussian troops by army corps with the description of their uniforms. The text was composed with the help of Doctor F. G.

Eighteen of them show the different Prussian uniforms, one plate describes the flames of the spears, and a colored map represents the positions of the belligerents during the battle of Waterloo.
