EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "German Costumes of the Late 15th Century," showcases two figures dressed in traditional attire as depicted in miniature paintings from the court library of Darmstadt. The woman, elegantly dressed in a gown with long, hanging sleeves adorned with fringe and down, wears a headdress made of folded cloth and adorned with feathers and fur. Her shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle and cascades down her back. In her hand, she cradles a bird, adding a touch of grace and delicacy to the scene. The man, on the other hand, dons a doublet with jagged sleeves and a voluminous skirt. He wears red hose and a feathered hat, adding a regal and imposing presence to the image. The intricate details of their costumes, from the folds of their fabric to the ornate embellishments, are expertly captured in this illustration by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, created this work as part of his comprehensive study on artworks and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century. The illustration was lithographed by C. Regnier, adding an additional layer of detail and vibrancy to the already intricate design. This stunning image offers a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of German fashion during the late 15th century, a time of opulence and elegance in European history.
