142 COSTUMES - EARLY FRENCH BOOKS
The 8 folding principal plates represent different groups of the festive
procession, a. o.: the burgomaster of Vienna Johann von Thaw, the captains
Midi. Stortzer, Seb. Eyssler, Seb. Hergershofer &c. and the train of
“Mentenathores”. The 10 cuts in the text represent: a trumpeter, Europe riding
on an ox, a siren riding on horseback, the statue of Victoria, the statue of the
Four Vices, Georg v. Etzndorff riding to the tournament, a harquebus („Hacken-
sditttze”), a „Tupel-S61dner”, „Drommel und Pfeiffen” (in Suiss uniform).
From our copy are wanting 7 plates, but from Lipperheide’s the same
number is missing; the title leaf is mounted and si. browned, in 1. K* a few
small holes, the first and the last 11. insignificantly wormholed. The folds of the
plates are partly mounted. In the whole the copy is rather large (all borders
are intact) and of good condition.
