EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Noble Women of Senez, Provence, and German Women from Jost Amman's Playing Cards," showcases the elegant and refined fashion of noblewomen during the Middle Ages and the 16th century in Senez, Provence, and Germany. The top image depicts two noblewomen of Senez, one riding sidesaddle on a horse with a page in attendance, while the other walks with a young boy. The intricate details of their clothing, including voluminous skirts, fitted bodices, and elaborate headdresses, reflect the opulence and sophistication of the noble class during this era. The lower image features German women from Jost Amman's playing cards, showcasing similar yet distinctly Germanic fashion trends. The women wear high-waisted gowns with tight bodices and full skirts, adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments. Some wear headdresses with feathers or flowers, while others wear simple veils. This illustration was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously researched and documented costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, and his works remain an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of European history and fashion. This particular illustration was lithographed by C. Regnier and published in Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889.
