EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the effigy of Sir Weikhard Frosch, also known as Wicker Frosch, who passed away in the year 1378. The image is derived from the grave effigy located in St. Catherines church in Frankfurt, Germany. Weikhard is shown wearing an ermine-lined cape, suit of armor, or possibly a suit of chainmail beneath a camail, a type of protective garment worn over armor. He dons both a great helm and a vizored bascinet, which were common headpieces during the late medieval period. The escutcheon on his chest displays his coat of arms, which remains a testament to his noble status. Sir Weikhard's appearance is reminiscent of the knights of the 14th century, an era characterized by chivalry, heraldry, and a strong emphasis on fashion and personal appearance. The intricate details of his armor and the richness of his ermine-lined cape reflect the wealth and status of the knightly class during this time. This illustration was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously documented and chronicled the costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, providing invaluable insights into the fashion, art, and history of the time. The lithograph was produced by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck and is a stunning example of the detailed and accurate work that emerged from his extensive research and expertise.
