Individual leaves are pasted together accordion style. The Nuremberg Folk Festival began in 1826 and included a large parade. This 1853 Festival was no exception and was commemorated by the present lithograph reputedly executed by Leopold Itzel. A glorious example of lithography: The Herold der Stadt Nürnberg and Trompeter are followed by the Ehrenfahnenträgen für Bauern; Noris the Representation of Nuremberg follows in a Roman chariot; then trade representatives: artists plumbers armour carpenters locksmith a Flora and Pomona in chariots triumphal cart of Gartner a train of brewers Buttner and hosts and finally floats from rural communities Steinbuhl Mogeldorf and Rednizhembach the last as a canal boat. The captions along the bottom are in German. The first 8 panels are hand colored thereafter the lithograph is uncolored. Some light soiling some folds repaired occasionally trimmed closely; housed in original cardboard covers worn at edges with their ribbon ties replaced. In all 27 participants or groups on 19 panels. Rare to start with and hardly ever found complete. n.p. (Verlag Georg Maar) paperback books
