[Quadrille parée et costumée exécutée a la cour de Sa Majesté le Roi de Bavière le 3 février 1835 représentant les divers pays des quatre parties du monde, et les principaux personnages de Quentin Durward. Munich: I. M. Hermann, c. 1835.]
Very rare complete suite of plates depicting the Bavarian king Ludwig’s court festival of 1835; a costumed quadrille, the first part of which depicted the continents and many representatives of the various countries, the second part depicting characters from Scott's chivalric novel 'Quentin Durward', belongs to a series of 6 pageants that take place in the year 1835 in Munich. The festival is also the prelude to the 'romantic' processions of the 19th century, on the one hand picking up the tradition of courtly baroque and rococo, on the other hand, by choosing a historical chivalric romance, it brings medieval chivalry back to life. Furthermore, the work is a rare collection of portraits, as it contains the likenesses of the noble personalities involved in the quadrille, e.g. Prince Carl, Leuchtenberg, Kielmannsegg, Schonborn, Seinsheim and Gumppenberg. Bobins II, 456; Colas 1133; Lipperheide Sbc 26.
2 parts in one, folio (245 x 290mm). Lithographic frontispiece and 50 lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic, engraved dedication leaf and part-title to second part, 2 leaves of letterpress contents (lacking general title, spotting to frontispiece, dedication, part-title and contents leaves, the plates themselves fresh and clean). Contemporary purple half morocco (extremities lightly rubbed, upper cover slightly unevenly sunned).
