EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a French breastplate armor and spur worn by Duke Albrecht III of Bavaria during the 15th century. The intricately designed armor, known as a Panzerjacke, is adorned with elaborate embossing and geometric patterns, showcasing the advanced metalworking techniques of the time. The spur, a crucial accessory for horseback riding, is also intricately decorated with ornate designs. The image is taken from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," a comprehensive work on historical costumes and accessories published in Frankfurt in 1889. The illustration was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The armor and spur are often associated with the fashion of noblewomen during this period, particularly those of the French court. Poetesses such as Christine de Pizan and Queen Margot are often depicted wearing similar armor in contemporary art. The headdress, known as a hennin or henin, is also a distinctive feature of women's fashion during this era, with its tall, conical shape and elaborate decorations. The image also features a representation of the Virgin Mary and a saint, emphasizing the religious significance of armor and armor-wearing during this time. The intricate details of this chromolithograph provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, art, and history of the late Middle Ages.
