EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier in 1889, offers a glimpse into the fashionable attire of the German elite during the late 15th century. The image features two groups of individuals: the first group comprises knights and their wives from the Kevernburg region, hailing from Arnstadt, Thuringia. The knights proudly display their armorial shields and pennants, adorned with symbols of St. George and the dragon, silver, copper, and the eagle. The women wear scarlet garments, intricately embroidered with gold and silver threads, and headdresses adorned with pearls and precious stones. The second group consists of four wealthy burghers from Ingolstadt: Erhart Moringer, Erasmus Wielant, Georg Hanenkampel, and Peter Paumfeld. These men don traditional costumes, which include fur-lined coats, breeches, and hats. Their garments are embellished with intricate appliques and embroidery, reflecting their affluence and social status. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously researched and documented these costumes and artworks from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. This illustration is an invaluable resource for understanding the fashion trends and cultural traditions of the time, providing a fascinating window into the past.
