EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Count of Flanders, Comte de Flandre, from an ancient equestrian armorial titled "Ancien Armorial Equestre de la Toison d'Or et de l'Europe au 15e siecle" (Ancient Equestrian Armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th century), published in Paris in 1890 by Loredan Larchey. The Count is shown proudly displaying the emblem of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious and ancient chivalric order founded by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in 1430. The emblem features a white lion rampant on a red background, symbolizing the County of Flanders. The Count wears a richly decorated suit of armor, adorned with various heraldic devices, and holds a banner bearing the arms of the Order. The intricate details of the Count's armor and the vibrant colors of the chromolithograph create a striking visual representation of the nobleman and his affiliation with this esteemed order. The illustration is taken from manuscript 4790 in the Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal, adding to its historical significance and value as a record of heraldry and chivalric traditions in Europe during the 15th century.
