EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "German women in dresses with big shoulder pads, 1572," is a stunning visual representation of fashion and social status during the late Middle Ages in Germany. The image, taken from the miniature enamels in the Grand-Ducal Library of Darmstadt, was published in Frankfurt in 1889 as part of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." The illustration showcases two German women dressed in elaborate attire, reflecting the opulence and intricacy of the era. The young woman on the left wears a gold hairnet adorned with pearls and a plumed cap, her elegant dress featuring a high neckline and voluminous sleeves with shoulder pads. Her attire suggests a refined and affluent background. The woman on the right is identified as a doctor's wife, and her unusual hat and veil are designed to hide her hair, mouth, and chin. Her dress, while still ornate, is more subdued compared to the young woman's, indicating her role as a married woman and her adherence to societal norms. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors in this chromolithograph, created by Dr. Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, offer a captivating glimpse into the rich history and culture of German fashion during the 16th century. This image serves as an essential historical record and a testament to the artistic skill and vision of its creators.
