Festive Renaissance

165002
Among the Folger's immense holdings of early illustrated books, few are as spectacular as those that commemorate the great
events of the noble and royal life cycle--births, weddings, coronations, royal entries, and funerals. Drawing exclusively upon the
magnificent volumes given to the Library since 1975 by Mrs. H. Dunscombe Colt, this catalogue provides an overview of early
modern ceremonies, festivities, and processions and offers striking panoramas of popular as well as aristocratic urban life in
pre-Revolutionary Europe.
Laura Hull Cofield, 1995, Folger Shakespeare Library, Paperback, 40 pages, 32 illustrations.
