EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled 'Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century,' showcases an intriguing assemblage of three men from the late 16th century. The young man on the left dons a fashionable slashed doublet and hose, accessorized with a striking red and white flag, symbolizing his allegiance or status. The doublet, a close-fitting jacket, is slashed with vertical lines, creating an illusion of texture and depth. The hose, a form of tight-fitting trousers, are held up by a belt and are adorned with decorative ribbons. In contrast, the man in the middle wears a more traditional doublet and hose, sans any visible embellishments. His doublet, with its high collar and long, flowing sleeves, is a testament to the intricate tailoring techniques of the era. The hose, simple and unadorned, are tucked into high-waisted breeches. The man on the right is clad in armor and helmet, ready for battle. His armor, a protective suit made of interlinked metal plates, is adorned with intricate designs and embellishments. His helmet, with its distinctive plume, shields his head and face, while his spear and sword are at the ready. This image, created by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, art, and culture of the late 16th century. Lithographed by C. Regnier, this chromolithograph is a masterpiece of historical documentation and artistic expression.
