I came across this as I was doing some basic research for a mod idea. As the title says, its a collection of photos of uniforms worn by several different countries/groups mainly around the 1800s.
Some are from as early as before 1000 AD, but since the photos come from a book it seems reliable and accurate.

I am very curious as to why Norway is lumped together with Sweden, since A) the images have the heading "Sverige" (Sweden), without a mention of Norway, and B) Norway was in union with Denmark until 1814, and only thereafter were in union with the Swedes.

Do they have Norway lumped for all times with Sweden or do they have the uniforms before 1814 with Norway's pictures?

I didn't look at the pictures really, just barely glanced at a single page from Saxony.

All the way back to the 1500s. It is indeed rather odd...
