EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print captures the intricate details of German costumes from the late 15th century, offering a glimpse into the fashion of this historical period. The woman is depicted in a dress with long hanging sleeves, delicately holding a bird in her hand, while the man wears a doublet with jagged sleeves and skirts, paired with red hose and a feathered hat.
These figures are inspired by miniature paintings found in the court library of Darmstadt, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating these elaborate ensembles. The vibrant colors and rich textures bring these historical garments to life, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and style of this bygone era.
Illustrated by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, this piece is part of Hefner-Alteneck's collection "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck was not only an illustrator but also a museum curator, archaeologist, and art historian who dedicated his work to preserving and celebrating cultural heritage.
This print serves as both a visual feast for fashion enthusiasts and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the clothing customs of late medieval Germany.
