EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a 16th-century illustration for Hans Sachs' poetic work, "The Eighteen Beauties of a Maiden," published in Augsburg during the Tudor period. The print showcases a collection of noble citizens, both men and women, adorned in the elegant and intricate costumes of the time. Each figure embodies a unique beauty, from the delicate rose held by one woman to the supportive handkerchief offered by another. The noblewomen are dressed in rich fabrics, adorned with lace collars and cuffs, and wear elaborate headdresses adorned with flowers and jewels. Their shoes are adorned with ribbons and bows, adding a touch of elegance to their attire. The noblemen, on the other hand, wear doublets and hose, with ornate collars and ruffs, and carry swords or other signs of their status. The illustration is a testament to the opulence and refinement of the noble class during the 16th century. The use of roses as a symbol of beauty and love is a common motif in the art of this period, and the supportive handkerchief held by one woman highlights the importance of friendship and companionship. This print, created in Augsburg during the C16th, is an invaluable historical record of the fashion and social customs of the time. Hans Sachs, a renowned poet and playwright, penned the verses that accompanied this illustration, adding to its literary and artistic significance. The intricate details of the costumes and the elegant poses of the figures make this a stunning work of art that transports us back to the Tudor era.
