Historische Beschreibung der fürstlichen Kindtauff Fräwlein Elisabethen zu Hessen &c. : Welche im Augusto dess 1596 Jahrs zu Cassel gehalten worden mit beygelegten Abrissen der Ritterspiele so damals vollnbracht,
A 1598 festival book printed at Kassel by Wilhelm Wessel, recording the christening celebrations of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse in 1596, with tournament plates by Wilhelm Dilich. The pages show engraved framed scenes of mounted riders and marching infantry in procession, set within ornate scrollwork borders. A designer might draw on the tight rhythm of repeated figures in horizontal bands and the decorative cartouche frames for parade or pageant layouts.
