EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate costume of a page belonging to the legendary Christian patriarch, Prester John. Created in 1859-1860 by Christoph Krieger, this engraving depicts the Emperor of Ethiopia adorned in an embroidered tunic and silk chemise. The page's neck is embellished with gold and silver ornaments, adding a touch of opulence to his attire. Completing his regal ensemble are a sword and a silver cross, symbolizing both power and faith. The image is framed within an exquisitely decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot skillfully translated Krieger's woodcut into this woodblock engraving for Cesare Vecellio's renowned book on ancient and modern costumes. Transporting us back to the 16th century, this artwork offers a glimpse into historical fashion trends while also shedding light on the cultural significance of Prester John as an influential figure in Ethiopian history. Florilegius has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty today. This enchanting print not only serves as a testament to artistic craftsmanship but also provides valuable insights into African history through its portrayal of Ethiopia during that era.
