EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "German soldiers wearing harem pants, late 16th century," offers a fascinating glimpse into the intriguing world of mercenary troops during the Renaissance era. The image, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, is taken from his comprehensive work "Hefner-Altenecks Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. At the center of the composition, a chief sutler, dressed in a richly embroidered robe and turban, raises his arms in a grand gesture, perhaps signaling a sale or a command. To his left, an infantry chief, clad in armor and helmet, stands tall and proud, brandishing a short staff and a sword. Both men wear the distinctive harem pants, which were adapted by European soldiers from the Middle East during their campaigns. These trousers were characterized by their wide, flowing legs and slashed fabric, often adorned with intricate patterns and bright colors. The chief sutler's attire is further embellished with a plume on his turban and a sash draped across his chest. The infantry chief's helmet is adorned with a crest, and his armor is adorned with intricate engravings and embossed designs. This striking image not only provides valuable insights into the fashion and military practices of the late 16th century but also underscores the multicultural influences that shaped European culture during this period. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of this chromolithograph make it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical artwork and a testament to the rich heritage of European military history.
