Die grosse oeffentliche Maskerade zu Pferde und zu Wagen in Bamberg am Fastnachts Montage 1837. Bamberg: Johann Baptist Lachmüller, 1837.
A remarkably preserved series of extremely charming lithographs depicting the costumed participants in a pre-Lenten carnival procession at Bamberg on Shrove Monday, 1837. The twenty-eight plates depict carnival figures on horseback and riding in horse-drawn wagons; each plate with a descriptive caption, signed J. B. Lachmüller. They show the people of Bamberg disguised as Greeks, Tartars, Chinese, and Jews; as characters from the Commedia dell’Arte; Harlequin, Pantaleon, Pierrot, and Polchinello; caricatures of people from all levels of society, including people dressed up as animals, cats and bears and monkeys; as apothecaries; 'Lord Cockborn und sein Jockei'; as characters from folklore, such as the clown Hanswurstansky, Pumpernickel, Quasimodo, etc. Exceptionally rare, and a remarkably fine copy. The lithographs are described by Joseph Heller, Verzeichniss von bambergischen topographisch-historischen Abbildungen (Bamberg 1841), nos.1113-1114. Bobins IV,1240.
Folio (438 x 282mm). 28 lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, each sheet printed in oblong, circa 270 x 430mm, some watermarked ‘M. Muller’, numbered 1-28, signed J.B. Lachmüller in Bamberg, loose as issued (plates in near perfect state of preservation). Blue paper wrappers, title printed on upper cover within decorative border (tiny tears restored on fold of wrapper, but otherwise in near perfect state of preservation); contained in a modern grey box with title printed on front cover.
