EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent armour worn by Electorate Christian I, as depicted in a plate from Dr. Franz Kottenkamp's renowned book "A History of the Development and Customs of Chivalry". Published in 1842 by Carl Hoffmann, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship of this historical artefact. The armour exudes strength and power, reflecting the noble stature of its wearer. Every piece is meticulously crafted to provide maximum protection while allowing for ease of movement during battle. The sword held firmly in hand symbolizes both authority and skill, ready to defend against any adversary. Mounted on an armoured horse, Electorate Christian I commands attention with his regal presence. The plumed helmet adorning his head adds a touch of grandeur to his appearance, further emphasizing his status as a formidable warrior. This print not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers valuable insights into the development and customs of chivalry during that era. It provides us with a glimpse into history when knights clad in such remarkable armour roamed the lands, upholding honor and engaging in epic battles. Displayed within private collections like The Stapleton Collection, this image preserves an important part of German heritage that continues to inspire awe even today.
