EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a German tournament helmet from the mid-15th century, part of the extensive collection of Prince Karl Anton of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, housed in the Kunstkammer of Sigmaringen Castle. The helmet, adorned with intricate engraved foliage, was a crucial component of the armor worn by men during jousting tournaments, a popular pastime among the European nobility during the Middle Ages. The illustration, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of armor and costume design during this period. Hefner-Alteneck was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, whose works have significantly contributed to the documentation and preservation of medieval art and artifacts. The image also features various other elements characteristic of the era, such as a bold fur-lined coat, a puff sleeve doublet, and a miniature titlepage from a prayer book. The knights are depicted with heraldic shields bearing the arms of various counties, including Mainz, Nassau, and the wheel of the city of Aschaffenburg. The presence of a castle library and an angel holding a book further emphasizes the scholarly and religious aspects of medieval society. This illustration, taken from Hefner-Alteneck's seminal work "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," provides an invaluable record of the intricacies of medieval fashion, armor, and art, as well as the social and cultural contexts in which they thrived.
