EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the costume of Albrecht von Hohenlohe, a knight who died in 1319. The intricately detailed image is derived from the grave effigy located in Schloss Neuenstein. Albrecht is shown donning chain mail armor, a tunic, a great helm, and carrying a shield and sword. The armor is adorned with intricate crenellations, reflecting the defensive structures of medieval castles. The background of the image is filled with various elements reminiscent of the 13th century. A maiden, perhaps a representation of peace or prosperity, stands beside the knight, holding a mirror and a comb. Her long, flowing hair is adorned with a floral wreath, symbolizing beauty and the passing of time. The scene is further embellished with carved ivory flowers and a parchment drawing, adding to the richness and complexity of the illustration. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every crease in the fabric, every curve of the shield, and every petal of the flowers meticulously rendered. The image is the work of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck's expertise in medieval art and history is evident in this stunning representation of a knight's costume from the 13th century. The lithograph was produced by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck in 1889 as part of his comprehensive work on costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century.
