[COSTUME]
Fetes de Gutenberg. Cortège Industriel de Strasbourg. 25 juin 1840.
An impressive suite of 53 plates corresponding to the great parade or industrial procession, of the various trades of the city. This book shows us the procession of all the Strasbourg corporations, dissolved by the French Revolution, which, for the occasion, brought out their traditional costumes and each produced a "masterpiece". Our album represents the procession alone. There are also three plates for the first day of inauguration, the third day and a sheet of music (score).
