EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Military Equipment and Weapons from the 17th Century," transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and military might. The central focus of the image is a group of soldiers, with a lancer leading from the front and arquebusiers following closely behind. The lancer, a cavalryman, is depicted brandishing a long spear with a pennant attached, while the arquebusiers, infantrymen, carry their arquebuses, early muskets, slung over their shoulders. The intricate detail of this illustration, published by Heinrich Keller in 1889, is a testament to the meticulous work of its creators. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, was the mastermind behind the concept and design. The lithograph was expertly executed by the skilled hand of Joh. Klipphahn. The illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the 17th century. The soldiers' uniforms, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflect the opulence and grandeur of the time. The military equipment and weapons, from the ornate armor to the intricately designed gun barrels, showcase the advanced technology and craftsmanship of the era. This image, taken from Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," offers a unique and captivating perspective on the military culture and history of the 17th century. The intricate detail and historical accuracy make this a must-have for any history or military enthusiast's collection.
