EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, showcases two exquisite examples of women's headdresses from the mid-15th century Europe. The image features a young maiden from St. Martins Church in Oberwesel, situated along the Rhine River, and a woman from the Basilica of St. Cunibert in Cologne. Both women adorn themselves with elaborate headpieces that were popular during this era. The maiden's headdress is characterized by a tall, conical structure, adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns. Her headdress is reminiscent of those worn by the Saxon lineage, reflecting the regional influences that shaped fashion during this time. The lower woman's headdress, on the other hand, is more subdued yet equally striking. It consists of a simple, flat cap, adorned with a delicate veil that falls gracefully over her shoulders. The young man in the background wears a fashionable doublet, complete with long sleeves, which was a common attire for men during this period. The presence of these European nobles, dressed in the latest fashion, highlights the importance of documenting and preserving the intricate details of clothing and accessories from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. The influence of various artistic movements, such as the Van Eyck school and the Italian fashion of Pietro Perugino, can be seen in the exquisite details of this illustration. The chromolithograph was part of Dr. Hefner-Alteneck's extensive collection, which was later published as an art book. This image serves as a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse fashion history of Europe during the mid-15th century.
