EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Hats and Bonnets of the Early 16th Century," is an intriguing glimpse into the rich and varied world of headwear during the medieval period in Germany. Created by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck for his comprehensive work "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889, this image showcases an array of hats and bonnets that were popular among the burghers and nobility of the time. The central figure in this portrait wears a stylish beret, a common choice for both men and women during the early 16th century. The beret's simple yet elegant design, with its rounded crown and narrow brim, allowed for versatility and ease of wear. The woman's elegant neckline and the intricate lacing on her bodice suggest that she is of noble birth. Surrounding the central figure are various other hats and headdresses, including the tricorn, which features three corners and was often worn with a feather or other decorative adornment. The tall, conical hat, or "hennin," is also depicted, as is the "capotain," a high-crowned hat with a wide brim that was popular among the upper classes. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval fashion and the intricate details of headdresses and hats that were an essential part of daily life during the early 16th century. The meticulous attention to detail in this chromolithograph, with its vibrant colors and intricate textures, serves to transport us back in time and allow us to appreciate the beauty and artistry of the past.
