EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving captures the essence of German costumes from the early 16th century. The image showcases a diverse range of individuals, representing different social classes and occupations during this period. In the foreground, we see men and women dressed in traditional attire, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. Peasants can be seen wearing simple garments, while bourgeois individuals don more elaborate clothing to display their wealth and status. The soldiers depicted wear military uniforms with distinctive hats, highlighting their role as mercenaries or landsknechts. The print also offers a glimpse into everyday life in Germany during this era. Farmers are shown tending to their fields, hunters carry weapons for their expeditions, and people engage in various activities that were common at that time. With its attention to detail and historical accuracy, this engraving provides valuable insights into German culture and fashion during the 16th century. It serves as a visual record of how people from different walks of life dressed and lived during this significant period in European history. This artwork is part of a private collection but was originally created as an illustration for "Zur Geschichte der Kostume" (Braun & Schneider), published around 1895. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's catalogue allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its contribution to our understanding of German history.
