EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, showcases the intricate and detailed costumes of two 14th-century German knights, Ulrich V von Landschaden von Steinach and Heinrich of Seinsheim or von Sauwensheim. The image is derived from their respective grave effigies, which can be found in Neckarsteinach church and Wurzburg Cathedral, respectively. Ulrich V von Landschaden von Steinach, who died in 1369, is depicted on the left, wearing a tunic, chainmail suit, and carrying a shield. His helmet and great helm are placed at his pillow, accompanied by angels. The meticulous quilting and intricate design of his tunic reflect the high level of craftsmanship during this period. Heinrich of Seinsheim or von Sauwensheim, who died in 1360, is shown on the right, wearing a helmet, surcoat, and a belt. His great helm is attached to his breastplate with a chain. Both knights are armed with lances and shields, reflecting the military nature of their roles. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. His detailed and accurate illustrations of medieval costumes, artworks, and appliances have become invaluable resources for scholars and enthusiasts of the Middle Ages. This image offers a glimpse into the fashion and armor of the 14th century, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of these historic figures. The image, which is housed in the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Middle Ages and the importance of preserving and documenting historical artifacts and traditions.
