Authentische und vollständige Beschreibung aller Feyerlichkeiten : welche in dem Hannoverschen Lande bey der Anwesenheit Seiner Königl. Majestät Georgs des Vierten, während dem Monate October 1821 veranstaltet worden sind
A German festival account published in Hannover in 1822 by Heinrich Dittmer, recording the celebrations held across the Hanoverian lands during King George IV's visit in October 1821. The plates show triumphal arches and decorative structures built for the occasion, drawn as flat elevations with classical columns, inscriptions, crowns and heraldic devices. A designer could take from them the formal vocabulary of early nineteenth-century triumphal architecture, including Doric and Corinthian orders, carved reliefs and emblematic cartouches.
