EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a German woman's costume from the late 15th century, as rendered in the collection of Katharina Sattler at Mainburg Castle. The elegant attire is adorned with intricate gold detailing on the collar and sleeves, reflecting the opulence and refinement of the era. The woman wears a fitted doublet, a long, flowing cape, and hose that are held up by a belt. In her hands, she carries a basket and a tankard, suggesting a rural or domestic setting. The image is a reproduction from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," a seminal work on European costume history published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903) was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. His meticulous research and illustrations continue to be a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of European history, fashion, and art. The image also evokes the spirit of folklore and mythology, with the woman's attire reminiscent of the garb worn by Till Eulenspiegel, the legendary German jester and prankster. The owl mirror in the background, a common motif in Tyll Eulenspiegel stories, adds to the mystical and whimsical atmosphere. The image invites us to travel back in time, to explore the rich history and culture of the late Middle Ages.
