EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a group of men dressed in mid-17th century attire, as illustrated and published by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously captured the intricate details of the fashion and appliances of the medieval and early modern periods in his extensive works. The men in this illustration are dressed in the latest styles of the time, with voluminous doublets, breeches, and ruff collars adorning their bodies. Their hats, adorned with feathers and other decorative elements, sit atop their heads, adding a touch of elegance to their ensembles. The men's shoes, with their high heels and buckles, are also noteworthy. The background of the illustration is filled with intricate details of the time, including ornate furniture, tapestries, and other decorative elements. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the reproduction of multiple colors, adds depth and richness to the image, making it a true masterpiece of historical art. This illustration provides a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the mid-17th century, a time of great change and innovation. Hefner-Alteneck's dedication to preserving and documenting the past makes this chromolithograph an invaluable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of European culture.
