About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Ornate Knightly Helmets with Plumes Description: This beautiful hand-coloured lithograph showcases four knightly helmets, adorned with elaborate designs and striking plumes, reflecting the grandeur and artistry of medieval and Renaissance armor. It originates from the 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, created by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, which celebrated the history, customs, and craftsmanship of European chivalry. The illustration highlights the following helmets: 1. The first helmet features an elegant design with a tall, feathery white plume accented by rich red and blue flourishes, likely for ceremonial or jousting use. 2. The second helmet is a more functional design, featuring a visor with decorative ventilation holes, used for protection in battle. 3. The third helmet has a compact, close-fitting form with a golden accent on its crest, emphasizing its practical design for combat. 4. The fourth helmet stands out with its elaborate red and blue plume arrangement, symbolizing rank, prestige, and pageantry on the tournament field. The artist’s careful use of shading and vivid hand-colouring enhances the fine metalwork and luxurious feather details, capturing the beauty and complexity of knightly armor. Condition: This lithograph is in excellent condition with vibrant colouring, clean margins, and minimal signs of age toning. The finely preserved details make this a standout historical piece. This print is ideal for collectors of medieval armor, historical weaponry, or fine lithographic art. It serves as both a decorative and educational addition to any library, study, or gallery focused on chivalric traditions and European history.
