French troops of 1721

 Jacques-Antoine Delaistre (1690-1765)

 A great series of pictures of the French forces. I have put some of them on this Pinterest page.

    Really nice (and different pic)! Thanks for sharing it.
    Interesting how the French added a T to ‘hussar’. I’ve also seen them use a D in other documents of the period. Wonder if they had silent letters in those days and just assumed there should be a T or D there?
