EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Helmets with Vizors and Sword-Clasp in Brown," is an intriguing glimpse into the fashion and weaponry of the early 17th century. The image, published by Heinrich Keller in 1889, is an illustration by the renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously documented and illustrated various costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. The illustration showcases three helmets adorned with brown leather vizors and sword clasps. The vizors, made of supple brown leather, are drawn back, revealing the faces of the warriors beneath. The helmets themselves are intricately designed, with raised edges and decorative details. The sword clasps, also made of brown leather, are fastened to the belts of the warriors, ready for battle. The background of the image is simple, with a plain brown backdrop, allowing the intricacies of the helmets and accessories to take center stage. The use of chromolithography, a popular printing technique during the late 19th century, adds vibrant colors and depth to the image, making it a stunning representation of the fashion and weaponry of the time. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 17th century and allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of medieval fashion and weaponry. The attention to detail and historical accuracy make this a valuable addition to any collection of historical illustrations or costume studies.
