EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts a unique and intricately designed German cup from the mid-16th century. The cup, which is more accurately described as a chalice, is crafted from a nautilus shell and adorned with intricate gilt silver nautical ornaments. The cup's exterior is adorned with various maritime motifs, including nautical wheels, lobsters, and the mythical figures of Triton and sea monsters. The use of a nautilus shell as the base for this chalice was not only an aesthetic choice but also a symbol of the sea and its bounty. The intricate gilt silver ornaments add an air of luxury and sophistication, making this chalice a true work of art. The illustration is from the renowned publication "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century" by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, published in Frankfurt in 1889. Hefner-Alteneck was a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, and his work is considered a seminal contribution to the study of medieval and early modern art and fashion. The illustration was lithographed by Heinrich Keller, adding to its exceptional quality and detail. This image provides a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of medieval and early modern art and the fascination with the natural world, particularly the sea and its creatures.
