This antique military print, titled 'Siebente Vorstellung', is part of a series published by the 'Militarischen Gesellschaft in Zurich' in the 18th century. The society focused on depicting infantry warfare and infantry training. In this specific print, the details of infantry tactics and training are intricately illustrated. The etching work for this series was carried out by various artists, including J. G. Sauter, J. R. Holzhalb, J. H. Meyer, J. B. Bullinger, H. Brupbacher, and others. It offers a historical glimpse into the military practices and training methods of the time.
