EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, presents a striking contrast between the attire of a German court messenger from the late 15th century and an old man, both derived from paintings housed in the Bavarian National Museum. The court messenger, dressed in the Dutch style of the time, dons a voluminous, fur-lined cloak that covers a tunic and hose. A brooch adorns his chest, and he carries a lance as a symbol of his official status. The woman and children in the background, also dressed in the fashion of the era, add depth and context to the scene. In contrast, the old man is depicted with a simple stick and sandals, wearing a wrap-cloth covering and a book in his hand. This image represents the traditional attire of the common people during the same period. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously recreated these costumes from original paintings, providing a valuable visual record of fashion during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. The chromolithograph is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Bavarian school, and a reminder of the intricacies and diversity of fashion during this time. This illustration, produced by I.M. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when court messengers and humble old men went about their daily lives, dressed in the fashions of their respective stations.
