EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the intricately carved bas-relief gravestone of Susanna Albert, who passed away in the year 1565. Susanna was the beloved wife of Adam Albert, a distinguished counsel and town clerk. The gravestone, adorned with exquisite detail, showcases Susanna in a peaceful repose, cradling her infant child in swaddling clothes. The motherly figure is dressed in the fashion of the late Middle Ages, her voluminous gown and high-necked collar reflecting the elegance and refinement of the era. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the artistic prowess of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously documented costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, providing a valuable record of historical fashion and artistry. This particular illustration was lithographed by C. Regnier and is taken from Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of historical art and fashion.
