EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment of a 15th century banner showcases the rich heritage of Tyrolean mining traditions, as depicted in this intricately detailed chromolithograph from the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. The banner, which dates back to the late 15th century, features a vibrant scene of Saint George slaying a dragon alongside a scarlet eagle. The banner, adorned with a diverse array of tradesmen representing various professions, underscores the economic significance of mining in Tyrol during this era. Among the depicted craftsmen, we find miners wielding hammers and adzes, carpenters with their tools, a leatherworker and shoemaker, a farmer holding wheat, and a merchant weighing goods on scales. Additionally, the banner includes figures of Noah's Ark, a guard holding keys, and an innkeeper carrying a tray. Other trades represented include a toymaker with a chess set, a carpenter, and a book illustrator, as indicated by the open book and schachzabelbuch (chess book) in the scene. This artwork, which was lithographed by I.M. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, art, and daily life of the Middle Ages and the 17th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the rich, vibrant colors of the chromolithograph make it a captivating and essential addition to any collection of historical artwork or costume studies.
