EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistry of Byzantine weaving and embroidery from 1898. The creator remains unknown, but their talent is undeniable. The image presents a collection of various embroidered pieces, each with its own unique charm and historical significance. Figures 1 and 2 highlight two remarkable examples: an embroidered purple robe housed in the cathedral-treasure at Bamberg and figured silk-stuff adorning Henry II's tunic in the National-Museum at Munich. Figures 3,4, and 7 display intricately embroidered borders from the Imperial Alb found in Vienna's Imp. treasury, while figures 5 and 6 exhibit similar borders from the Imperial tunicle. Figure 8 showcases beautifully crafted embroidered borders on the German Emperor's mantle also located in Vienna's Imperial treasury. Figure 9 displays stunning embroidery on another section of this magnificent garment. The print further includes figures 10 and11 depicting patterns painted on garments discovered on tombstones within Rome's S. Lorenzo Fuori le mura church. These patterns reflect both Byzantine forms as well as Arabian ornamentation influences seen prominently in Sicilian articles during that era. Notably, one can observe a symbolic representation within these works - a lion overpowering a camel - signifying Christianity prevailing over Islam. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when trade flourished for luxurious woven fabrics adorned with opulent embroideries. It serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Byzantium while showcasing its influence across different regions during that time period.
