EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph, we are offered a rare glimpse into the intricate design and craftsmanship of a three-piece breastplate armor from the late 15th century. The armor, known as Harnische-Schmiede Plattner, was originally housed in the Vienna Arsenal. The detailed image, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, showcases the armor's rear view, revealing its complex jointed arm armour. The armor is adorned with intricate engravings, adding an elegant and ornate touch to its practical function. This armor would have been a prized possession of a noblewoman or a high-ranking official of the time, symbolizing wealth, power, and protection. The image also captures the fashion of the era, with a fur-lined dress worn by a lady, likely a visitor to the bourgeois man's home. The man, who appears to be a scholar, kneels before a miniature painting or a parchment codex, while ladies wait in the background. The interior of the room is furnished with a coat of arms, broad shoes, and heraldry, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The chromolithograph is a stunning representation of the artworks and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, providing a glimpse into the rich history of European fashion, art, and culture. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously captured the essence of this armor and the surrounding scene, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art and costume. This image is available through Mary Evans Picture Library and can be used for educational, research, and personal purposes. It is not to be used for commercial use without prior permission from the library.
