Simple mirror. Copenhagen, Johan Jôrgen Höffner, (1749). "Nordens Glæde" - "Glanz" or "Freude des Nordens" is the title of the magnificent festschrift of the Danish-Norwegian theologian and bishop Peder Hersleb (1689-1757), who wrote his sermon here on the occasion of the solemn anointing and coronation of King Frederick V and Queen Louise on 4 May 1757. It was published in the castle church of Frederiksborg in 1747. The book, which is as precious as it is rich, is an important permanent testimony to Danish-Norwegian festive culture and representation in the age of absolutism. The "Arve-Eenevolds Herre", i.e. the absolutist "herr of inheritance", King Frederick V of Denmark, Norway and Duke of Schleswig and Holstein (1723-1766), marries Princess Louise of Great Britain, Ireland and Hanover (1724-1751) in a political alliance between Great Britain and Denmark-Norway against the background of the maintenance of power over the European Union. Mainland powers. Despite her short lifetime - Louise became 27 years old - the queen promoted the court culture with art, music and theatre. And just as magnificent as she ruled, the wedding was celebrated, which was in the large text coppers (12.6 x 15.6 cm) of C. H. de Loden is represented: festive parades, great receptions, cheering parties in the streets of Copenhagen, the triumphant entry of the wedding couple through the Volkspaliere, the coronation ceremony in the throne hall at Christiansborg Castle and much more. "The joy of the North, when the almighty heir and sole ruler of Denmark and Norway, King Frederick the Fifth ... together with the highly esteemed wife of His Royal Majesty, Queen Louise Our Most Merciful Queen (Celebrate) Her Royal Anointing, on the 4th. In 1747, in the castle church of Friedrichsburg (title). – Tadello's fresh specimen, hardly tanned, on particularly precious, rolled slipcases with the finest sieve structure and bound in a truly royal binding with the crowned monogram of Frederick V. The "FF" in a complex double ligature with the Roman number "V" for the usual representation as "D.G. DAN.NOR.VAN.GOT. REX.FF.V.", read: "Dei Gratia Daniae, Norvegiae, Vandalorum, Gothorum Rex Fredericus Quintus". The rose leather pad is surrounded by a magnificent gold-embossed cartouche on which a peacock sits on top, framed by a double gold border, of which the inner one was also covered with rose-coloured calfskin. The cover mirror then with eleven large light green leather pads with latticework gold embossing, surrounded by a magnificent playful rococo garland in bright gold, with flowers, bouquets, Festons etc. Verso repeats the decoration that surrounds the large coat of arms of the Danish kingdom in the middle: on cognac-colored maroquin base the three blue lions, very finely gold-decorated, appear, surrounded by the nine red, gold-contoured hearts. Not least, the inner lids, which are covered in dazzling gold and with guillochees and palmettes are finely ornamented, are remarkable, as were the flying intentions with the finest silk brocade. In it several different coat of arms representations. The cover is signed at the bottom right "D. L. CLEMENTS EFTF'. It is the ingenious court bookbinder Daniel Louis Clément (1820-1877) and his successor (Efterfølger), whereupon the cover can be dated as a term post quem in the period after 1877. In all probability, this is a magnificent band for King Christian IX of Glücksburg, to whom it may never have been handed over.
