About the Item

Burgundian Tribute – The Pageant of Noble Youth in Ceremonial Dress This enchanting hand-colored lithograph, created by H. Jenny and lithographed by Kümmerly and Wittmer, is part of the *Fest Album* commemorating Bern’s entry into the Swiss Confederation on March 6, 1353. Published in Bern and Zurich in 1855, this large oblong folio captures the grand historical reenactments of 1853, celebrating Swiss medieval history, civic pride, and noble pageantry. The composition presents a remarkable procession of noble youths, elegantly dressed in rich Renaissance-style attire, paying homage in a formal ceremonial display. The young figures, adorned in finely detailed doublets, striped hose, and plumed caps, walk in a graceful and solemn formation, each carrying an item of significance. Their expressions are poised, embodying the refinement and discipline associated with noble upbringing. At the forefront, a boy in a deep red tunic and striking yellow-striped leggings carries a cushion upon which rests a miniature golden crown, likely symbolizing tribute to a noble house or a victorious leader. Behind him, others hold ceremonial helmets and shields, their ornate garments shimmering in soft pastel hues of green, lavender, and deep burgundy. The delicate rendering of fabric textures and embroidery details showcases the technical skill of 19th-century lithographic artistry. Two boys at the center carry a fluttering red standard adorned with golden heraldic lions, reinforcing the pageantry’s chivalric symbolism. The flowing movement of the flags, combined with the elegant stride of the young participants, creates a dynamic yet refined composition. The presence of an older figure in golden attire, observing from the side, suggests a guiding mentor or noble overseeing the ceremony. This lithograph reflects the Romantic-era fascination with medieval customs, noble traditions, and chivalric values. The ceremonial presentation of banners and symbols of rank captures the spirit of Renaissance courtly culture, blending historical accuracy with a sense of theatrical grandeur. The harmonious use of color, balanced composition, and intricate detailing make this a captivating piece of historical art. Condition Summary: The lithograph remains in good condition, with delicate yet vibrant hand coloring that enhances the intricate patterns and heraldic details. Minor signs of aging, such as light foxing in the margins, do not affect the image’s overall beauty. The paper remains strong and well-preserved, making this a valuable addition to any historical collection. Framing Tips: To best display this print, consider a high-quality frame with UV-protected museum glass or acrylic to prevent fading. A wide mat border in soft neutral or pastel tones will highlight the refined color palette while maintaining an elegant presentation. A dark wooden or gold-accented frame will enhance the regal quality of the piece. Using archival mounting materials will ensure its long-term preservation.
