EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a Dutch couple, elegantly dressed in fashions of the end of the 30 Years War, as they enjoy a leisurely moment in a lush pleasure garden. The oil painting from which this image was derived is an original work by Palamedes Steevens, titled "A Scene from a Pleasure Garden," and was created in the late 17th century. The intricately detailed illustration, produced by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by CW, offers a glimpse into the opulent and ornate clothing styles of the time. The man is dressed in a voluminous doublet, adorned with gold lace and embroidery, and a matching breeches and waistcoat. His ruffled collar and cuffs add an air of grandeur, while his hat is adorned with a feather plume. The woman's gown, with its intricate floral pattern and long train, is accessorized with a lace collar, a pearl necklace, and a matching hat adorned with a ribbon and flowers. The background of the image is filled with an array of colorful flowers, trees, and fountains, creating a serene and idyllic setting. The couple's relaxed posture and the peaceful atmosphere of the garden serve as a stark contrast to the tumultuous events of the 30 Years War, which had ended just a few years prior. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously researched and documented historical costumes and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. This illustration, published by Heinrich Keller, is a testament to his dedication to preserving the rich history of fashion and art.
