Le Triomphe de l'Empereur Maximilien I, Une Suite de Cent Trente Cinq Planches grav‚es en bois d'apres les desseins de Hans Burgkmair), Vienna & London, Matthias Andr‚ Schmidt & J. Edwards, 1796, a collection of 88 woodcuts (from the total of 135), including 56 full sheet (385 x 554mm), each with oval library ink stamp to verso, the remaining 32 cut down (approximately 385 x 400mm) and with mounting adhesive remains to versos, printed plate numbers sometimes altered in an old hand, occasional fraying, scattered old dampstaining and browning, a few tears and crude repairs, mostly to cut down plates, plate 82 (renumbered 83) highly defective, all loosely contained in old quarter morocco portfolio, soiled and worn, large folio The original drawings for the woodcuts of The Triumph of Maximilian were made between 1512 and 1516, chiefly by Hans Burgkmair but with contributions by Albrecht Altdorfer, Hans Schaufelein, Hans Springinklee, and others, including one by Albrecht Durer. The woodcuts form a continuous procession measuring approximately 177 feet, celebrating the achievements of the young emperor, whose death in 1519 at the age of 60 put an end to the production. The illustrations are especially interesting for the depiction of regional officials and professions, and exotic peoples and animals. The blocks were first printed in a very small edition in 1526 at the instruction of Ferdinand, younger brother of the succeeding Emperor Charles V, and were not reprinted until this edition in book form in 1796.
