EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Noblewomen of the Late 17th Century," is an exquisite illustration from Pater Abraham a Sancta Claras Weltgallerie and Wiener Kaiserbuch, published by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1889. The illustration was created by the renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, with lithographs by A. Volkert. The image showcases three noblewomen of the late 17th century, each dressed in the opulence and elegance of the era. In the foreground, a young chambermaid holds a gold key and a train of gold brocade, signifying her role as a trusted servant to the noble class. She is dressed in the simple yet elegant attire of the time, with a white apron and a cap adorned with a bow. The first noblewoman is dressed in winter clothes, bundled up against the cold in a fur-lined cloak and a warm hat. Her richly decorated gown is adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments, reflecting the wealth and status of her family. The third noblewoman wears a green cape and holds a fan, a symbol of refinement and sophistication. Her gown, also in the latest fashion, is adorned with delicate lace and embroidery, reflecting the intricate artistry of the time. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the noblewomen of the late 17th century, offering a window into a bygone era of opulence and elegance. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the chromolithograph bring the image to life, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and refinement.
