EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, titled "German Landsknecht Soldier," is an exquisite example of military fashion from the 16th century. Created by the skilled hands of E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and masterfully lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, this image is a stunning addition to Georges Duplessis's "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The Landsknecht soldier depicted in the illustration wears a distinctive puff-sleeved tunic, which was a common feature of the Landsknecht military uniform during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance period. The tunic is adorned with intricate embroidery and rich fabrics, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the era. The soldier also dons breeches, garters, and stockings, which were essential components of the Landsknecht uniform. An interesting accessory that adds to the soldier's appearance is the fife, which can be seen slung over his left shoulder. The fife was a popular military instrument used for signaling orders and coordinating troops during battles. The Landsknecht soldiers were renowned for their unique appearance, with their elaborate uniforms and distinctive weapons, which included the halberd and the pike. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with valuable insights into the fashion and military practices of the 16th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcolored illustration make it a true masterpiece, preserving the history and traditions of a bygone era.
