EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Patricians of Franconia (Lower Bavaria) in their elegant wedding outfits from the late 17th century. The image is derived from a miniature on parchment that once belonged to a noble Wurzburg family. The intricate details of this historical artwork were brought to life through the skilled hands of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The Patricians of Franconia, an influential social class in Lower Bavaria during the Middle Ages and the early modern period, are depicted in their finest attire for the joyous occasion of a wedding. The men wear richly decorated doublets, breeches, and ruffs, adorned with lace and embroidery. Their collars are high and stiff, a sign of their noble status. The women, in turn, are dressed in voluminous gowns, their headdresses crowned with intricate veils and jewels. Their bodices are laced tightly, accentuating their slender waists. The illustration, published by Heinrich Keller in 1889, is a testament to the exquisite fashion and artistry of the time. Hefner-Alteneck's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the past make this piece a valuable addition to any collection of historical costumes and artworks. This chromolithograph offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the Patricians of Franconia, a world that continues to fascinate and inspire us today.
