What are the best (-> most correct) references for Napoleonic Ottoman uniforms? I'm thinking about a time frame 1798-1808. Online and/or in book form, please.

Thanks and cheers,
Peter

Egyptian campaign 1798-1801 – uniforms

My thanks to Steve H Smith at Napoleon Series Forum for "Les uniformes de la campagne d'Égypte. 1798-1801. Brouillet. S.l., s.d., in-4, demi-rel. chag. bleu, dos à nerfs. Avec 90 planches coloriées, de 2 cartes, sur les tenues portées durant cette campagne par les différentes armées belligérantes." These can be seen at Brown University. Go to: link Input 'collection of 66 original Brouillet' for Keywords. Can also be seen at link

L'organisation de l'armée ottomane (depuis sa création jusqu'à nos jours). Première partie depuis 1326 jusqu'à 1826, avec 247 gravures coloriées Istanbul Maktab Harbiyah Matbaasý, 1907 link Some excellent coloured plates.

"Military Costume of Turkey" is downloadable as a pdf from google books. The illustrations are from life and it has full supporting text. It was produced in 1818 and depicts uniforms circa 1812. link

Plates on many countries created in 1802 in Kiel by Friedrich Ludwig von Koeller. link

Contemporary "Augsburger uniform or Series" covering 1802-1810. Almost every nation of the time was represented with at least one sheet, which was usually 5 per nation, including 2 each for the infantry and cavalry (often divided into light and heavy forces) and 1 for the artillery. Amongst these amazing plates are very interesting illustrations of Ottoman troops & Cossacks. link
