Other collections of national dress or period costumes, armour and weapons will be made available in the future. If your interest is in the history and development of European military uniforms, there are also a number of Military Uniforms Reference Collections.

About Matomaton

I've long been fascinated by the history of civilian and military dress and the development of tools and weapons throughout human history. Having had high-quality scans of Hottenroth's illustrations for some time, I thought that other people might share my interest, particularly other wargamers and roleplayers looking for reference material when painting miniatures.
