Hardcover. 1st Edition. Large 4to., (10 6/8 x 7 5/8 inches). Engraved title-page, 2 engraved portraits of Henry IV and Maria de Medici, and 12 engraved plates by Matthias Greuter (some occasionally heavy browning and dampstaining, lower corner of +3 repaired.) 18th-century calf, the spine in six compartments with five raised bands, a red morocco lettering-piece in one, the others decorated with small gilt tools (rebacked preserving original spine, front joint nearly detached). Provenance: The Paul and Marianne Gourary Collection of Illustrated Fete Books "Splendid Ceremonies", with their small bookplate on the front paste-down. First edition. In October of 1600, the second marriage of Henry IV (1553-1610) King of France to Maria de' Medici (1575-1642) daughter of Francesco I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, was celebrated in Florence (with a proxy for Henry). In late October Maria embarked at Leghorn for Marseille en route for Lyons and Paris, where her marriage was to be celebrated for a second time. Wherever she passed she was met by happy crowds and triumphal arches: one of the most spectacular of these celebrations was to commemorate the entry of the newly married couple into Avignon on the 19th of November 1600. The festival is portrayed in all its magnificence through Matthias Greuter's (1564-1638) fine plates, including engravings of the Royal chariot drawn by two elephants, and the numerous triumphal arches especially erected for the occasion, each decorated with representations of the Labors of Hercules symbolizing the deeds and virtues of Henry IV, including one in which the columns of Hercules hold up the papal and French crowns, supported by a sceptre and a sword respectively, with the motto "duo protegit unus" to show Henry as both ruler of his kingdom and willing defender of the Church. In 1601, the City Council at Avignon voted 40 scudis to the printer Jacques Bramereau in order to enable him to travel to Paris and present copies of this book to the King, Queen, and Princes of France.
