(The third with 2 small patches in upper margin, remnants of old glueing along folds on verso, a few small repairs.) When Emperor LEOPOLD I was married to MARIA THERESA in 1666, a plan was conceived to undertake spectacles for her reception on a scale which had never been seen at a German court. The four large horizontal engravingsd depict Emperor Leopold I, preceded by heralds, and followed by members of his court, all on horseback, 123 in number. These comprised the opldest and most distiguished aristocrats at the imperial court, such as Counts Waldstein, Coloreto, Fürstenberg, von Altheim, Trautohn, Harrach, Dietrichstein, Herberstein, Kevenhiller, Mansfeldt, von Windischgraz and others. The engraved legend describes in detail the costumes of silk, gold borders and brocades, worn by the principal figures. Gregor, Weltgeschichte des Theaters, p.400ff. Hollstein 77-80; Nagler IV:71, 2. [And:] COLLIGNON, François, engraver. Set of 8 etchings that accompanied the score of Stefano Landi's opera San Alessio, libretto by Giulio Rospigliosi. Rome, 1634. Each approx. 184 x 270mm, mounted. Cloth folding case. The 1634 production of Landi's San Alessio was presented in honor of Prince Alexander Charles of Poland as part of Carneval organized by Cardinal Francesco and Cardinal Antonio in Rome. On this occasion the score was printed, enhanced by Collignon's illustrations that testify to the splendor of the performances.
