Fetes de Gutenberg. Cortege Industriel de Strasbourg. Strasbourg: Chez Simon, 1840.

A fine set of these lithographic plates, after Eugene Glueck, all beautifully hand-coloured, very rare complete; originally published in parts of 4 plates each, this long fresco represents the industrial procession that took place at Strasbourg, celebrating the festival of Gutenberg on June 25, 1840. The parade shows all the trades and guilds of the city in procession: saddlers, glaziers, locksmiths, farriers, tinsmiths, boilermakers, gardeners, florists, weavers, tanners, brewers & coopers, butchers, bakers, fishmongers (with live fish transported in a boat), confectioners, carpenters, masons, papermakers, lithographers (with working press on a chariot), and bookbinders and typesetters. It also includes plates of the festivities in Strasbourg town square, including one of the ‘Dance of the boilermakers’; all of great social interest. Bobins II, 528; Lipperheide Sm 23.



Oblong quarto (312 x 511mm). 50 lithographic plates by Simon, 4 of which are folding, all finely coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic (minor marginal age toning, rare marginal mark, or spot). Contemporary black morocco backed marbled paper boards, spine richly gilt (extremities rubbed). Provenance: Victor Stoeber (bookplate).
