EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled 'Burghers from Late 17th Century Germany,' showcases an intriguing scene of charity and compassion. The image, published by Heinrich Keller in 1889, was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by Joh. Klipphahn. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously captured the essence of the era through his illustrations. At the top of the print, a burgher, identified by his red-and-white sash, sits regally on a chair, offering a viaticum, a religious token of support for the dying, to a vagabond. His cuirass, a protective armor, symbolizes his status and wealth. The juxtaposition of the burgher's authority and the vagabond's vulnerability highlights the importance of compassion and empathy in society. Below the benevolent burgher, two patricians from Augsburg are depicted, each wearing the long tunic coats characteristic of the period. Their refined attire and dignified posture underscore their high social standing. The intricate details of their clothing, as well as the overall composition and color palette of the print, transport us back to the late 17th century and offer a glimpse into the fashion and history of the time. This image, taken from Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work 'Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 18th Century,' is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Germany during this period. It invites us to reflect on the enduring values of compassion, charity, and social responsibility, while also showcasing the intricacies of medieval and early modern fashion.
