This image showcases the grandeur and opulence of German military fashion during the late 17th century, as depicted in this intricately detailed print of bewigged cavaliers. The illustration, taken from an oil miniature copied as a handcoloured copperplate by Martin Engelbrecht, is a stunning example of the artistic techniques of the time. The chromolithograph, published by Heinrich Keller and lithographed by F. Baur, is an exquisite reproduction from Hefner-Alteneck's seminal work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 18th Century." Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903), a renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously documented and illustrated the historical costumes and military uniforms of the past. The cavaliers in this print are adorned with elaborate bewigged headpieces, signifying their high social status. Their military costumes are embellished with intricate gold and silver embroidery, velvet, and other luxurious fabrics. The detailed appliances, such as the breastplates, gauntlets, and helmets, add to the grandeur of their appearance. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of German military fashion during the late 17th century, providing valuable insights into the artistic and cultural practices of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print make it a prized possession for any history or art enthusiast.
