The Triumphal Procession of Emperor Maximilian I

Jacquelyn GreigThe Hidden History Project1 Comment

The Triumphal Procession of Emperor Maximilian I was a series of engravings produced in Germany in the 16th century to celebrate the glory and family tree of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor,

But there is something rather strange about these pictures. Too many blank cartouches. Strange black blobs all-willy-nilly-over the place.

And quite a few double-headed eagles and griffins abound.

The questions are:

Which Emperor? Which Empire?

or…

Was the printer lazy/did he just sneeze all over the ink pots?
