EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, showcases two exquisite shoes from the mid-15th century: a Crakow and a Trippen. The illustration, lithographed by C.R., offers a glimpse into the fashion and artistry of the time, providing valuable historical insights. The Crakow shoe, named after the Polish city of Krakow, is depicted at the bottom left of the image. It features a high, pointed toe, a narrow waist, and a distinctive upturned, open heel. This shoe was a popular choice among the European nobility during the late Middle Ages, particularly in Germany and Central Europe. Above the Crakow, there is a Trippen shoe, which is characterized by its low, broad platform and a high, pointed toe. The Trippen shoe gained popularity during the same period and was often worn by both men and women. The name "Trippen" is derived from the German word for "triple," referring to the three toes on the sole that provided extra stability and support. The setting of the illustration is a grave effigy, with a knight in full armor, including a helmet, breastplate, spurs, and a cape, kneeling at a plate on the ground. The knight's suit, adorned with heraldic arms and coat, is reminiscent of the style worn by Wilhelm, Margrave of Baden, who died in 1473. The scene takes place in Konstanz Minster, a significant religious site in the Swabian region of Germany. This illustration, taken from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," is a testament to the intricacies of medieval fashion and the artistry of the time. It offers a unique perspective into the lives of the nobility during the mid-15th century, providing a glimpse into their clothing, customs, and the role of art in their society.
