A 1685 Stockholm publication by court painter David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, printed by Johann Georg Eberdt, recording the grand carousel and ring tournament staged for Charles XI of Sweden after his accession in 1672. The plates are etched views of horsemen in plumed helmets and elaborate costumes parading in procession with attendants carrying lances. A designer could draw on their dynamic rearing horses, ornate baroque harness, and the crowded rhythm of the processional lines.
