About the Item
Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Medieval and Renaissance Helmets
Description: This hand-coloured lithograph features a diverse collection of medieval and Renaissance helmets, showcasing the evolution of European armor design across different styles and functions. The plate originates from the 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, created by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, celebrating the artistry and engineering of knightly traditions.
The illustration highlights nine distinct helmets:
1. Simple close-helm designs, used for protection in combat, reflecting early medieval armor trends.
2. A visored helmet with reinforced edges, demonstrating advancements in protection against blows.
3. A decorative 'face-shaped helmet' in the center, with intricate carvings of flowing, ornamental motifs, suggesting ceremonial or parade use.
4. Plumed helmets at the bottom, adorned with red and black feathers, combining functionality with pageantry for tournaments and high-ranking displays.
5. Various open-face and reinforced helmets, showcasing practicality in design for different combat scenarios.
The artist carefully renders each helmet with precise attention to the polished steel surfaces, subtle curves, and elaborate details. The vivid hand-colouring of the feathers and ornamentation adds visual vibrancy, emphasizing the status and prestige associated with these armaments.
Condition: This lithograph is in excellent condition, with clean margins, crisp details, and well-preserved hand-colouring. Minor foxing and age-toning around the edges enhance its antique authenticity.
This print is a valuable addition to collections focusing on medieval armor, military history, or European chivalry. It is perfect for display in libraries, studies, or curated galleries celebrating the craftsmanship and evolution of knightly armor.
