EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts three young men from family registers of the 17th century, each proudly displaying their distinctive coats of arms through the use of ensigns. The intricate heraldic designs, a hallmark of medieval and early modern European culture, serve as a testament to the importance of lineage and ancestry during this era. The illustration, titled "Three Young Men from Family Registers of the 17th Century," was created by the renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously captured the essence of the period, from the fashionable attire to the intricate details of the heraldic symbols. The lithograph, published by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1889, showcases the young men in elegant clothing typical of the 17th century. Their garments, adorned with rich textiles and vibrant colors, reflect the opulence and grandeur of the time. The men's hairstyles, with their long, flowing locks, further emphasize the historical context. The use of chromolithography, a color printing technique that emerged during the 19th century, allowed Hefner-Alteneck to create a visually stunning representation of the young men and their ensigns. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to produce a richly detailed and vibrant image. This illustration, a masterpiece from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," provides a captivating glimpse into the fashion and heraldry of the 17th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.
