Theatrical costume from Frederick the Great’s Berlin Carousel of 1750, worn by Patrick Home during the annual pageant.
In Gustav III's opinion, the 18th century had witnessed only two princely carousels of any note. One of these, in Berlin in 1750, was occasioned by a visit by the Margravin Fredrique Sophie Wilhelmine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth in August. She was Fredrik the Great's favourite sister and the plans for her month-long visit had been made by the King in person.
