EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 15th century as we gaze upon the image of a gallant German knight in full armor. The intricately detailed suit of steel armor, adorned with geometric patterns and intricate engravings, protects the knight from head to toe. The helmet, with its distinctive crest and visor, sits proudly atop his head, while a flowing, fur-lined cloak drapes elegantly over his broad shoulders. The knight's articulated gauntlets, meticulously crafted to allow for freedom of movement, cover his hands, while his sturdy shoes, with their reinforced toes and high, laced up sides, ensure a firm footing on the battlefield. In his right hand, he holds a formidable sword, its hilt wrapped in leather and adorned with precious metals, ready to strike with precision and power. In his left hand, he wields a dagger, its sharp blade a testament to the lethal efficiency of medieval combat. Completing his armament is a battleaxe, its heavy head poised to deliver crushing blows to his enemies. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration, taken from the esteemed publication "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" by Levy Fils, Paris, 1860, allows us to fully appreciate the fashion, history, and craftsmanship of the time. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a German knight during the 15th century, an era of chivalry, honor, and unyielding courage.
