EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a knight in intricately detailed battle armor from the 14th century, as seen on the gravestone of Johann Graf von Wertheim. The image, published in Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the early Middle Ages to the end of the 18th Century," offers a glimpse into the armor designs and craftsmanship of the medieval period. Johann Graf von Wertheim, a German nobleman, is believed to have died in the year 1407. This illustration, drawn by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by CR, was published by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1883 as part of Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work. Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903) was a renowned German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator. He dedicated his career to the study and documentation of historical costumes, artworks, and appliances from various time periods. Hefner-Alteneck served as the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886. This chromolithograph is a testament to his meticulous research and artistic abilities, providing valuable insights into the rich history of European armor during the late Middle Ages. The knight in the image is shown in a defensive stance, ready for battle, with his helmet adorned with a crest and visor lowered. His armor is decorated with intricate engravings and embossed designs, showcasing the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail during this era. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and skill of the medieval period.
