LIPOWSKY, Felix Joseph (1764-1842)
Sammlung bayerischer National-Costume. Munich: Hermann und Barth, (c. 1828-1835).
Extremely rare complete suite of lithographs illustrating the history of Bavarian national costumes. The book was published in 12 parts, each with 4 plates showing not only the wide variety of costumes worn in different parts of Bavaria, but also festival scenes, such as the Oktoberfest. This latter is shown to be much more agricultural and sporting in nature than today's event. RBH only records one other complete copy at auction (Zisska & Schauer, 9-11 November 2011, lot 2842, EUR23,400). Bobins IV, 1243; Brunet III, 1093; Colas 1879 (calling for 49 plates, but is probably including the uncoloured title); Lipperheide Dfc 6; Vinet 2154.
Folio (368 x 260mm). Lithographic title and 48 lithographic plates coloured by a contempprary hand, with captions in German and French, 52pp. letterpress text (letterpress with variable spotting, imprint of plate 14 abraded with loss of a few letters, tiny marginal tear to plate 27, tiny marginal chip to plate 30, plates 37 and 38 loose). Contemporary quarter morocco over cloth (lower hinge cracking, extremities lightly rubbed).
