This is the title page from a book of uniform designs by Dutch artist Evert Maaskamp, published in 1811. It depicts the uniforms of the honor guards of the various military corps in the seven departments of Holland, which were formed to receive Napoleon Bonaparte, who declared himself Emperor of France in 1804, as Emperor and King. The book was printed in Amsterdam by Evert Maaskamp, a notable publisher and printer of the time. The intricate details of the uniforms and the elegant typography make this a visual testament to the grandeur of the Napoleonic era in the Netherlands.
