EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a Dutch peasant woman from the late 15th century, making her way to pay homage to St. Elisabeth. The intricately detailed image, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, is taken from a figure in the door of Aachen Cathedral. The woman is dressed in the traditional attire of the time, with a simple yet elegant veil covering her head, a long, flowing gown, and an apron adorned with intricate patterns. In her hands, she carries a basket, likely filled with offerings for the saint. Despite her humble appearance, the woman's attire reveals a deeper connection to the chivalric traditions of the time. Her outfit includes elements of armor, such as a salade or sallet helmet, a piece of breastplate, and engraved jointed arms and legs. These protective pieces were not only worn by knights in tourneys and jousts but also by peasants during Crakow sabatons, a type of mock battle or festival. The woman's attire also includes a gorget, a piece of armor that protects the throat, and sabatons, or armored shoes. These elements demonstrate the influence of chivalric fashion on the everyday clothing of the time, as well as the importance of protection and preparedness, even for those not directly involved in the tournaments and battles. This image, originally from Hefner-Alteneck's extensive research on costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, offers a unique glimpse into the fashion and cultural practices of the late 15th century in Europe.
