[LACHMÜLLER, John Baptist (fl. c. 1837)

Die grosse öffentliche Maskerade zu Pferde und zu Wagen in Bamberg am Fastnachts-Montage 1837. Bamberg: J.B. Lachmüller [n.d. but 1837].

First edition of fresh and untrimmed plates capturing the public masquerade procession held in Bamburg during the carnival of 1837. The event was held to celebrate the Fastnacht, the German equivalent of carnival which was celebrated at the beginning of Lent. This was a highly significant event in the Germanic calendar and the present suite offers a beautifully detailed insight into the costumes and the pageantry of the public procession, capturing the local people riding on either horseback, wagons, or in carriages, as they parade through the town of Bamberg. Bobins IV, 1240; Lipperheide Sn 27.



Folio (431 x 270mm). 27 lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, loose as issued (very light spotting to plates 16 and 17, otherwise plates very fresh). Original illustrated printed brown wrappers (small repairs to top edge of wrappers, marginal finger-soiling); housed in modern green cloth clamshell box with morocco label to front cover, lettered and ruled in gilt.
