EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a Helm, also known as a Beckehnaube or Bassinet, from the late 16th century. The intricately engraved decoration adorning the helmet showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The Helm was a type of helmet commonly worn during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period in Europe. It was designed to protect the head and neck, with a high, rounded crown and a visor that could be lowered to shield the face. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, created this illustration in the late 19th century. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously studied historical costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, documenting them in great detail. This Helm illustration is one of many in his extensive collection, which was published in the book "Hefner-Altenecks Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." The illustration was lithographed by Johann Klipphahn, who expertly brought Hefner-Alteneck's intricate designs to life in vibrant colors. The result is a stunning visual representation of the Helm, offering a glimpse into the fashion and armor of the late 16th century. This Helm, with its elegant engravings and protective design, is a testament to the artistic and technological achievements of the time.
