OKTOBERFEST – KRAUS, Gustav Wilhelm (1804-1852), artist

Festzug zur Feÿer der Jubel Ehe S.S.M.M. des Königs Ludwig und der Königin Therese zu München am 4ten October 1835. [Munich:] J.C. Hochwind, 1835-1836.

Extremely rare complete suite of hand-coloured lithographs of the 1835 Oktoberfest procession held to celebrate the silver wedding anniversary of the king and queen of Bavaria. Each plate depicts two rows of the individual regional courts forming a procession through the city of Munich and filing past the royal tent on the Theresienwiese. There were approximately 80 decorated horse-drawn carriages and floats, almost 1000 mounted farmers, and more than two companies of mountain riflemen. The carriages were decorated with scenes representative of the local district and whose residents wore their distinctive local costume, and this work is a splendid visual record of the event. Bobins V, 1504; Christine Pressler, Gustav Kraus, p.385-408.



Oblong folio (374 x 483mm) 24 lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand (plate 1 backed and with small area of abrasion just affecting a few letters in upper caption, plate 5 trimmed into plate number, plate 15 with tiny area of oxidation to colouring, occasional light finger-soiling, mainly confined to margins). Original cloth-backed boards with lithographic title on front cover (short splits to spine, extremities rubbed, corners worn).
