EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of French fashion in the 12th century. Taken from Trachten der Voelker, a renowned collection published in 1864, this colour lithograph by Albert Kretschmer showcases an exquisite French Dress from around 1100. The image portrays a rich tapestry of costume and livery, providing a glimpse into the lives of peasants, warriors, pilgrims, and royalty alike. A reaper wields his scythe while donning a hat and carrying a purse; nearby stands a soldier adorned with chain mail armor and wielding a sword. A pilgrim is seen holding his staff with a red cross on his bag. Amidst this diverse ensemble are regal figures such as queens wearing crowns and holding scepters, kings displaying their royal regalia including shields and jewels. The knights are clad in magnificent mantles featuring leopard patterns while feathers adorn both male and female attire. This print not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers historical insight into the clothing styles prevalent during that era. It provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate the intricate details of each garment while transporting them back to medieval France. Displayed within private collections today, this remarkable piece remains out of copyright due to its age. Its availability through www. bridgemanimages. com allows art enthusiasts worldwide to enjoy its beauty without any commercial restrictions or limitations imposed by companies involved in its distribution.
