EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph, a collection of armorial shields of members of the Crossbowmen Guild from Munich during the late 15th century is showcased. The shields bear the coats of arms of various individuals, including Hans Duke of Bavaria (A), B Hainrich (1486), Hans Duke of Saarwerden (C), and C. von Venningen of the Rhineland (D). Each shield is meticulously designed with intricate heraldic symbols, reflecting the noble status and lineage of these men. The image also depicts the attire and accessories of these crossbowmen, providing a glimpse into the fashion and equipment of the time. Hans Duke of Bavaria is seen wearing a grand hooded robe, while B Hainrich dons a simple tunic and a brooch. Hans Duke of Saarwerden is shown wearing a long tunic with a sash, and C. von Venningen is depicted in a short tunic, sandals, and carrying a stick. The crossbowmen were an essential part of the military forces during the late Middle Ages, and their guilds played a significant role in the court and national life of many European cities. This illustration, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, is a valuable historical record of the visual culture and military organization of the time. The meticulous attention to detail in the design of the shields and the depiction of the crossbowmen's attire and accessories make this a fascinating and informative piece of art and history.
