Darmstadt: Joh. Fr. Pet. Stahl, 1804.

Printing on silk is difficult because of the unpredictable warp and weft of the material. Here Stahl has not only successfully printed these gratulatory verse in a Gothic type but has included three finely engraved vignettes. The work has been fully bound in silk making this a coherent tribute to the use of silk in all aspects of book production.
