Text in German and English. "The present publication conveys insights into an important chapter of the princely Kunstkammer; after all, the art of turning formed an integral part of the education accorded to a future sovereign. These virtuoso 'objets d'art' have lost nothing of their fascination down through the centuries. On the contrary, although we are living in an age of technological advances made at a dizzying pace, we are astounded by them and are stunned by the miracle of their creation on the turning-lathe represents." - from preface.
