Beschreibung vnd Abbildung Aller Königl. vnd Churfürstl. Ein-Züge, Wahl vnd Crönungs Acta, So geschehen zu Franckfurt am Mayn, im Jahr 1658.: Sampt andern darzu gehörigen vnd beygefügten Sachen

Merian, Caspar · 1658 · 18 pictures

This 1658 book by Caspar Merian, printed in Frankfurt am Main, records the royal and electoral entries, election and coronation ceremonies held there, with engraved views and portraits for a readership interested in court pageantry. The pictures show long processions of mounted riders and horse-drawn coaches moving through town streets, a crowded market square with the Römer town hall, and formal bust portraits in ornate collars, a strong reference for crowd composition, procession layout and engraved hatching in historical scenes.
