1869 1^ed Saint Macaire Celebration in Ghent Belgium ENORMOUS Oblong Illustrated

In May of 1867, the city of Ghent, Belgium held an enormous celebration commemorating the eight-century anniversary of the life of its patron saint, Saint Macaire. Impressive parades, cathedral services, processions, and festive events were held over the course of a week to honor Saint Macaire the city of Ghent.

The event was highly successful, so much so, that clergy and laymen of Ghent were calling for a souvenir book. Publisher Schelden published this truly enormous oblong book commemorating the event – a book filled with 25 colored engravings depicting various portions of the parades and processions, notes on sermons, homages to Saint Macaire, and much more.

An absolutely huge double-folio oblong souvenir book!
