The Edible Monument: The Art of Food for Festivals
"Ornate edible architecture and sculptures were often created for celebrations in the cities and courts of early modern Europe." Find illustrations from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries of these "ephemeral masterpieces" and of street feasts, festivals, and elaborate table wares and settings. Look for Harsdörffer's illustrations of piegatura (baroque napkin-folding). From the Getty Research Institute.
