EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century" by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, offers a glimpse into the fashionable attire of the German nobility during the early 16th century. The image, created in 1889, showcases an elegant woman adorned in the fashionable clothing and accessories of the time. The woman wears a voluminous, high-waisted gown with a fitted bodice and full, billowing sleeves. The gown is decorated with intricate gold and silver embroidery, adding to its grandeur. A turban-like headdress adorned with beads and a large, ornate clasp sits atop her head, completing the regal look. A bonnet, also adorned with beads and a delicate veil, is worn over the turban. The woman's attire is accessorized with a long, flowing tail, which was a popular fashion accessory during this time period. The tail was often worn over one shoulder and draped down the back, adding an air of elegance and sophistication to the outfit. This image, which is housed at the St Elisabethschurch in Marburg, Germany, provides a fascinating look into the fashion of the German nobility during the early 16th century. The intricate details of the woman's attire, from the embroidery on her gown to the beads on her headdress, offer a glimpse into the wealth and status of the German nobility during this time period. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for vibrant, detailed images, adds to the overall beauty and allure of this image.
