Habit of a Corporal of the Warasdin Pandours in 1742

by Thomas Jefferys

The significance of this engraving lies in the fact that it provides an interesting insight into the history of 18th-century military units known as the Warasdin Pandours, which were noted for their use of unconventional warfare techniques, as well as their distinctive oriental influence in clothing.

This particular print by Thomas Jefferys from 1742 is an important source on the topic of the Warasdin Border Infantry. The soldier is wearing the typical outfit of a corporal, known as a "Pandour" habit, which was meant to instill fear among Western European enemies.
