Jongleur of the Medieval Times: A Musician's Craft in the Middle Ages, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Jongleur," portrays a medieval entertainer, a precursor to modern-day musicians and performers. The term "jongleur" denotes a versatile artist commonly seen in medieval courts and public spaces, engaging audiences with music, poetry, and storytelling.
In this print, the jongleur is shown playing a flute-like instrument, focused intently on his performance. His attire is strikingly colored, with a blue tunic that falls above the knee, allowing for ease of movement during his performance. The tunic is cinched at the waist by a darker belt, which helps to secure his garment during his active profession.

The Stature of a Milanese Noble: An Lithographic Artistic Depiction, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "The Stature of a Milanese Noble: An Artistic Depiction from 'Costume du Moyen Âge'"
Description: This finely detailed lithograph is part of the 1847 seminal work "Costume du Moyen Âge," which portrays a Milanese nobleman, attired in the fashion of the Middle Ages. The nobleman stands in a dignified pose, with a slight turn to the side that suggests movement or the commencement of an address. His garment is a robust, terracotta-hued robe, which falls in heavy folds to the ground, indicating the weight and quality of the fabric. The robe features elegant blue cuffs and a blue collar, which provide a contrast to the warm primary color and are adorned with diamond-shaped embellishments, implying a subtle yet unmistakable wealth.
Atop his head sits a distinctive chapeau with a jaunty feather, adding a touch of personal flair to his ensemble. This hat, along with his full, neatly groomed beard, contributes to the air of wisdom and experience that the nobleman exudes. His expression is one of contemplation and sagacity, with eyes that appear to be observing or assessing the scene before him.
As in other plates from the collection, the background is left intentionally plain, directing the viewer’s focus to the subject and his elaborate attire. This lithograph not only captures the fashion and dignity of a nobleman from Milan but also serves as a cultural and historical record, revealing the meticulous attention to detail in costume design and social hierarchy of the time. The lithograph serves as a visual study of the mores and attire of the period, crafted with reverence for the historical accuracy and an appreciation for the aesthetics of medieval clothing...

The Scales of Justice: An English Criminal Judge in Traditional Robes, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
The image is labeled "Juge criminel anglais," which translates to "English Criminal Judge." The figure depicted is wearing a long, flowing robe with a blue undergarment and a red cape, which is indicative of the traditional robes worn by English judges, especially in higher courts.
The judge also wears a white coif, which was a typical head covering for English judges and serjeants-at-law. He carries a staff, which may symbolize authority or the office of the judiciary. His belt is richly decorated, suggesting the importance and high status of his position within the legal system.
The robes and coif show significant detail, such as the fur lining on the cape and the gold fastening on the belt, which alludes to the formality and solemnity of the judicial office. The judge's expression is stern and somber, reflecting the serious nature of his role in adjudicating criminal matters.
Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image.
Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces.
In the context of the print from 1847, it's less likely that egg whites or yolks were used directly on the print, as by that time, commercial printing processes would have been more advanced and less reliant on such manual methods. However, if this print is a representation of an earlier style or is meant to mimic the appearance of hand-painted manuscripts...

Courtly Splendor: A Nobleman at Emperor Sigismund's Court, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
The image depicts a man identified as a "Gentilhomme de la cour de Sigismond, empereur d'Allemagne," which translates to "Gentleman of the court of Sigismund, Emperor of Germany."
This individual is portrayed in a profile stance, dressed in attire that is indicative of the high-status courtiers during the time of Emperor Sigismund, who reigned in the early 15th century. He is wearing a turban-like headgear, which reflects the influence of Eastern fashion on European court attire, possibly due to the Ottoman influence or the general exchange of culture during the Crusades and subsequent interactions.
His doublet is richly patterned and he has puffed sleeves in red, which were fashionable among the nobility during the period. The garment is accented with a decorative belt that holds what appears to be a purse or a pouch. He also sports tight blue hose and pointed shoes, which complete the ensemble typical of a nobleman or a high-ranking court official in the Holy Roman Empire.
Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image.
Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces.

Florentine Nobleman of the Middle Ages, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Civilian Costume at the End of the 15th Century"
Description: The image is a print from a series the "Costume du Moyen Age" dated 1847, and titled "Costume Civil de la Fin du XVe Siècle," which translates to "Civilian Costume at the End of the 15th Century." It showcases a man of status, possibly a noble or a wealthy burgher, standing in a poised and confident manner.
He is attired in an ornate cloak covered in a complex pattern of fleur-de-lis and cross motifs, indicative of wealth and possibly a connection to royalty or high social rank. The cloak is open at the front to reveal a blue doublet with a belt, and he wears red hose—a fashion staple of the late medieval period. His footwear is also red, which stands out against the more subdued tones of his outfit.
On his head, he sports a fur-trimmed hat, adding to the luxuriousness of his attire. In one hand, he holds a long staff, which serves as both a walking aid and a symbol of authority. His other hand rests on the hilt of a dagger, further indicating his readiness to defend his status or engage in the political or civic matters of his time.
The artist has skillfully rendered the textiles and accessories with great care, emphasizing the fashion and social cues of the late 15th-century European society.
The colors have a nice glow over them. Historically, egg whites, known as glair, and sometimes egg yolk were indeed used in illumination and painting, particularly in manuscripts, to give colors a brighter appearance and to add a sheen or gloss to the work. This technique was quite common during the Middle Ages...

Seated Spanish Nobleman: The Visage of Authority, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Seated Spanish Nobleman: The Visage of Authority"
Description: This original antique detailed print portrays a Spanish nobleman from the Middle Ages, seated in a commanding position that denotes his high social status and authority. He is depicted in a stately pose, exuding an air of confident repose that reflects his powerful position within the societal hierarchy.
The nobleman is dressed in a long blue tunic, a color often associated with nobility and depth of character. His tunic is complemented by a rose-colored undershirt, a combination that suggests both wealth and taste. Over his attire drapes a heavy, deep blue cloak, a mark of his status, which provides both warmth and an impression of gravitas.
On his head, he wears a broad-brimmed green hat, which is both a stylish and practical accessory, shading his eyes and symbolizing his affinity with the outdoors and perhaps his participation in hunting, a favorite pastime of the nobility.
His footwear consists of red shoes, possibly made of fine leather or velvet, adding a striking contrast to his ensemble. The nobleman's demeanor is one of contemplation, with a hand resting on a money pouch at his belt, indicating his control over wealth and economic affairs.
The chair in which he sits is adorned with simple yet elegant ornamentation, including a valance with floral motifs, signifying a connection to nature and his domain. The setting is minimalistic, focusing the viewer’s attention on the nobleman’s figure and attire.
Through this print, we gain insight into the fashion and symbols of status that were prevalent among the Spanish nobility...
