EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled 'Citizens of Augsburg of the Early 18th Century' from Hefner-Alteneck's 'Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 18th Century,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Augsburg citizens during the early 18th century. The intricately detailed image, created as a lithograph by Joh. Klipphahn and published by Heinrich Keller, is an illustration by the renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903). The composition features a variety of characters engaged in their respective tasks. At the center, a hunter proudly displays his game, while a housekeeper supervises her servant girls, who carry plates and account books. A cook prepares a ham for the evening meal, and a tailor works on his sewing, surrounded by fabrics and tools. The meticulous attention to detail in the clothing and accessories of each character reflects the high standards of fashion and craftsmanship during this period. The medieval influence is evident in the tailor's garb, while the housekeeper and servant girls wear more contemporary attire. The overall effect is a vivid and engaging representation of the diverse roles and daily activities of the citizens of Augsburg during the early 18th century. This image, which originates from a copperplate engraving of a dollhouse, serves as an essential historical document and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Augsburg during this time. It continues to inspire curiosity and fascination among scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the intricacies of daily life during the early modern period.
