Notes: "This work, printed to celebrate the wedding in 1722 in Munich of Karl Albrecht, Electoral Prince of Bavaria (1697-1745) and Holy Roman Emperor (1742-45) and Maria Amalia, Imperial Princess (1701-1756), was created at the height of the Bavarian Rococo era. While the actual wedding took place in Vienna on 5 October, the ensuing celebrations in Munich lasted from 17 October to 4 November."--Jonathan A. Hill, bookseller.

"The 20 double-page plates, by Carl Remshart and Johann August Corvinus after Matthias Diesel with French and German captions, provide excellent documentation of the various splendid Electoral homes of Karl Albrecht and, especially, his gardens."--Jonathan A. Hill, bookseller.

"The garden at Schleissheim (depicted in three double-page plates) was one of the most important baroque gardens of Europe. Eleven of the double-page plates depict the buildings but especially the varied gardens at Nymphenburg which, under Karl Albrecht's influence, the new English landscape style came into its own. The two double-page and folding plates (by F.I. Späett ...), depicts the splendid firework displays. The text, in French, describes the balls, banquets, fireworks, and tournaments which took place during the celebrations."--Jonathan A. Hill, bookseller.celebrations."--Jonathan A. Hill, bookseller.
