EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts Count Kenneberg in his full courtly attire of the 16th century, as illustrated in Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." The nobleman is shown wearing a helm adorned with his heraldic colors, signifying his rank and lineage. Beneath the helm, Count Kenneberg dons a slashed doublet, a fashionable garment of the time, featuring deep vertical slashes that revealed the lining fabric. The doublet is worn over a white shirt and hose, held up by a girdle. Count Kenneberg's hose are covered by high-boots, reaching up to his knees, and are secured with spurs, indicating his status as a horseman. The intricate design of his boots, with their decorative lacing and ornate patterns, further emphasizes his wealth and status. The count's attire is completed with a flowing cloak, draped over one shoulder, and a sash around his waist. This image offers a glimpse into the opulent world of princely personalities during the 16th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the chromolithograph, from the intricate patterns on the helm and boots to the rich colors of the heraldic designs, highlights the grandeur and elegance of the time. The Courtly wear of Count Kenneberg serves as a reminder of the intricate and ornate fashion that characterized the medieval and early modern periods, and continues to inspire fashion designers and historians alike.
