Germany 1500–1600, Set of Six Antique Hand-Colored Renaissance Costume Prints This exceptional set of six hand-colored costume plates presents a richly detailed visual history of German dress between 1500 and 1600, a century marked by artistic transformation, political upheaval, and the dramatic rise of the Landsknechts—Europe’s most flamboyant mercenary soldiers. Produced by Ernst Wasmuth A.-G. in Berlin after designs by Max Tilke, the series forms a cohesive and chronologically focused group illustrating both military and civilian fashion at the height of the German Renaissance. Plate 121 (1500–1525) introduces early Renaissance styles through richly dressed townspeople, artisans, and vividly attired Landsknechts in striped hose, puffed sleeves, and slashed fabrics. Their bold silhouettes and vibrant colors reflect an era that embraced display, individuality, and martial confidence. Plate 125 shifts attention to educated and urban society. Nobles, scholars, patricians, and elegantly dressed women appear in fitted gowns, fur-lined robes, tall hats, and structured outer garments typical of pre-Reformation Germany. This plate captures the rising influence of civic authority and intellectual life in cities such as Nuremberg and Augsburg. Plate 128 brings us deeper into mid-16th-century fashion, featuring court musicians, entertainers, and courtiers in short doublets, decorative hose, lightweight cloaks, and feathered caps. A second grouping includes finely dressed nobles and diplomats, highlighting the refinement and ceremony of German court culture. Plates 133, 134, and 135 together form an extraordinary triptych of Landsknecht fashion. These soldiers became famous across Europe for their exuberant and unconventional dress—massive slashed sleeves, multicolored fabrics, puffed shoulders, dagger-cut openings, exaggerated hose, and feathered hats. Represented here in various ranks and roles, the Landsknechts illustrate not only military history but also one of the boldest and most influential costume styles of the Renaissance. Their outfits remain some of the most recognizable in European fashion history. As a complete six-plate group, these prints present a compelling narrative of German Renaissance society—its militarism, its artistic ambition, and its richly diverse clothing traditions. The hand-coloring across the set is bright and consistent, showcasing atmospheric tones, strong contrasts, and careful attention to detail. Few collections display this level of completeness and visual harmony. Ideal for collectors of European history, early modern military culture, historical costume, or decorative antique prints with strong visual presence, this series also suits interior designers seeking classical themes, warm palettes, and refined historical character. Condition report: All six plates are in very good antique condition with gentle age toning and minimal edge wear. Image areas are clean and colors remain vivid. Plate numbers and captions clearly present. No tears, staining, or repairs. Framing suggestion: For a striking installation, frame the six plates in matching dark-stained or walnut frames with warm cream mats. They display beautifully in two rows of three, or as a vertical series of paired prints. Their strong color palette and rhythmic compositions create a dynamic yet elegant wall display.

Antique map titled 'Pas kaart van de Noord Kust van Espaniola (..)'. Beautiful sea chart of the northern part of Hispaniola, western Cuba. The map includes the Turks & Caicos Islands and southern part of the Bahamas. Shows Guanahami or S. Salvador. Guanahani is an island in the Bahamas that was the first land in the New World sighted and visited by Christopher Columbus' first voyage, on October 12, 1492.

Van Keulen originally registered his business as a vendor of books and instruments (specifically cross-staffs). In 1680, however, he gained a privilege from the States of Holland and West Friesland for the publication of pilot guides and sea atlases. In that year, van Keulen released his Zee-Atlas (Sea Atlas), which secured him a name in the competitive maritime publishing market. In 1681, he published the first volume of Nieuwe Lichtende Zee-Fakkel (New Shining Sea Torch). This would be the first of an eventual five volumes originally published between 1680 and 1684. A sixth volume was added in 1753. The Zee-Fakkel won van Keulen lasting fame. The atlas had charts compiled by Claes Jansz Vooght and artwork from Jan Luyken...
