Description

A later edition of Hans Burgkmair's woodcut of a group of mounted fifers playing the shawm and rauschpfeife. The fifers are decorated with the crown of honor, a laurel wreath. Maximilian I's reign gave rise to the House of Habsburg. Numbered "79" in upper right corner.

Hans Burgkmair's massive frieze of Maximilian I's Triumphal Procession, first published after the emperor's death, was intended as an idealized, rather than faithful, recording of the pageantry. 

Organized in two rows of five men each, there are musicians intent on playing the bombard and the trombone. They all have feathered heads and are decorated with the crown of honor.

1777?: after discovery of the blocks at Graz and Schloss Ambras.

Condition Description
Woodblock on watermarked (M--?) laid paper.
