EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking chromolithograph, Count Ludwig Andreas von Kevenhüller (1683-1744) is depicted on horseback, proudly wearing his military regalia. The Count, an Austrian general, is dressed in a full cuirass, a protective armor made of leather or metal plates, which covered his chest and back. The cuirass was a common piece of armor used during the Middle Ages and the 18th century for cavalry charges. Count Kevenhüller's tricorn hat, a three-cornered hat with a flat base and a pointed front, is adorned with a plume of feathers. The tricorn was a popular headgear among European military officers and nobility during the late 17th and 18th centuries. The Count's attire is completed with a long, flowing coat, breeches, and high boots. The illustration was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903), a renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck was known for his extensive knowledge of medieval and early modern European history, and his work, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 18th Century," was a groundbreaking publication that documented the fashion and material culture of the time. The lithograph was produced by Joh. Klipphahn and published by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1889. The intricate details of the Count's uniform and the realistic depiction of the horse and its trappings attest to the high-quality craftsmanship of the lithograph. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the military fashion and culture of the 18th century, and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Hefner-Alteneck's scholarly contributions.
