EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the fashion of Wolfgang Christoph von Leoprechting, a bourgeois man from Frankfurt, as represented on his gravestone in St. Catherines Church, dating back to 1468. The intricate details of his attire provide a fascinating glimpse into the late 15th-century fashion trends of the Middle Ages. The image, drawn by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, was published by Heinrich Keller as part of his comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the early Middle Ages to the end of the 18th Century." Hefner-Alteneck was a renowned German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator, who served as the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886. The man is shown wearing a walburgisvonadelsdorf, a type of bonnet popular during the late Middle Ages, adorned with a wimple, a long linen cloth worn around the neck and chin. His puffed shoulders are accentuated by a shouldered robe, which is fastened at the waist with a belt. A rosary is visible around his neck, symbolizing his religious devotion. The tombstone, with its intricate carvings, serves as a poignant backdrop to this historical representation of medieval fashion. This illustration offers an invaluable contribution to the study of historical costumes and artworks, providing a tangible link to the past and shedding light on the fashion trends and cultural practices of the time. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques employed by Hefner-Alteneck and his collaborators make this a truly remarkable piece of historical documentation.
