Very rare military manuscripts with beautifully watercolour coats of arms of Willem V, in armorial bindings by the Bloemenbindery in The Hague -From the collection of Hugo Willem Bosscha-

Very intersting volumes, which give an overview of the military officers in The Netherlands. On p. 83 of 1764 "vaandrig J.G.
