EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a women's silk jacket from the early 17th century, featuring voluminous puff sleeves intricately embroidered with silver threads. The jacket, illustrated by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by Joh. Klipphahn, is a captivating example of the ornate fashion trends during the medieval and early modern periods. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously documented and preserved historical costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. His extensive research and dedication to the field led to the publication of this exquisite chromolithograph by Heinrich Keller in Frankfurt in 1889. The jacket's puff sleeves, a popular design during the Renaissance era, are adorned with intricate silver embroidery, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. The chromolithograph, a printing process that uses multiple lithographic stones, allows for vibrant colors and intricate details, making it an ideal medium for capturing the intricacies of historical costumes. The illustration provides a glimpse into the opulent fashion trends of the 17th century, a time when clothing was not only a means of protection but also a reflection of one's social status and wealth. The intricate embroidery and use of luxurious materials like silk would have been reserved for the elite, making this jacket a symbol of affluence and refinement. This chromolithograph serves as an invaluable resource for fashion historians, art historians, and anyone interested in the history of clothing and textiles. It offers a unique perspective into the intricacies of historical fashion and the artistry of the past.
