EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the battle armor and marriage clothes of Johann von Linden and Guda von Bellersheim from the year 1394, as preserved at Kloster Urnsburg. The intricately detailed illustration, drawn by Dr. Jakob Heinrich Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion and artistry of the late Middle Ages. Johann von Linden is shown in full battle regalia, wearing a suit of armor adorned with intricate engravings and embellished with gold and silver detailing. His helmet, complete with a visor and crest, sits atop his head, while a shield bearing his coat of arms is held in his hand. The armor, a testament to the advanced metallurgy and craftsmanship of the time, would have provided both protection and intimidation on the battlefield. In stark contrast to the armor, Guda von Bellersheim's marriage clothes are a beautiful display of textiles and embroidery. She is depicted wearing a flowing gown, adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics. Her headdress, adorned with pearls and feathers, completes the elegant ensemble. The marriage clothes would have been a symbol of wealth and status, reflecting the importance of fashion and beauty in medieval society. The illustration is part of Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the early Middle Ages to the end of the 18th Century," published by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1883. Hefner-Alteneck, a German archeologist, art historian, and illustrator, was the director of the Bavarian National Museum from 1868 until 1886. His work provides an invaluable record of the fashion and art of the Middle Ages, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this fascinating period in history.
