EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th century knightly costume, as depicted in this chromolithograph from Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's "Schachzabelbuch," showcases the intricate details and grandeur of German armor during the Middle Ages. The knight, seated atop a horse, dons a full suit of armor complete with a helm, shield, pennant, spurs, and cracows. The gold collar and cuffs add an air of opulence to the otherwise practical and protective attire. The illustration, lithographed by C. Regnier, is a reproduction from an original illuminated manuscript created by Dr. Hefner-Alteneck in 1889. Hefner-Alteneck was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. His extensive knowledge and expertise are evident in the accurate and intricately detailed depiction of the knight's costume. The knight's attire is reminiscent of the fashion during the late Middle Ages, a time when armor was not only a necessity for protection on the battlefield but also a symbol of status and wealth. The long, flowing cape and voluminous sleeves are typical of the fashion for both men and women during this period. This illustration is part of a larger collection of costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, housed in the extensive archives of the Mary Evans Picture Library. The collection provides a unique glimpse into the fashion, art, and history of Europe during this fascinating time period. This image, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the past. It is a reminder of the grandeur and elegance of the knights of old, who rode their horses into battle, clad in armor that protected them from harm while also showcasing their wealth and status.
