EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a 15th century knight in full armor, complete with a heraldic shield and helmet. The intricately detailed armor, adorned with embossed patterns and enamel, reflects the advanced metallurgical skills and artistic craftsmanship of the time. The knight's heraldic shield, bearing the insignia of a griffin, symbolizes power, strength, and nobility. The helmet, with its distinctive crest and visor, represents the knight's readiness for battle and protection. This image is a reproduction from the renowned work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the early Middle Ages to the end of the 18th Century," published by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1883. The illustration was drawn by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator, who was also the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886. The lithograph was produced by CR, further emphasizing the high-quality artistry and attention to detail that went into the creation of this historical record. The knight in the image is identified as Kunz Haberkorn, who died in 1421. The gravestone from which this image was derived is a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, history, and artistic traditions of the medieval period. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of the knightly culture and the rich heritage of European history.
