Guardian of the Realm: A Halberdier of Charles the Bold, Lithograph of 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This antique print for sale portrays a halberdier from the time of Charles the Bold, also known as Charles the Rash, who was Duke of Burgundy from 1467 to 1477. The halberdier is dressed in a traditional military garb indicative of the late Middle Ages.

Philippe le Bon or The Good, Duke of Burgundy: The Duke's Prestige, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Philippe le Bon: The Duke's Prestige"
Description: The print showcases Philippe le Bon, also known as Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, standing in a dignified pose that conveys authority and nobility. He was known for his patronage of the arts and the opulence of his court, and this is reflected in the intricate detail of his attire.
Philippe is dressed in a doublet with a patterned design, possibly embroidered with gold thread, which would have been a symbol of wealth and status during his time. The garment fits snugly to his form, a style that was fashionable among the nobility in the 15th century. The lower part of the doublet extends into a skirt, which is edged with fur, adding to the luxuriousness of his ensemble.
He wears hose that fit tightly to his legs, a common fashion of the time, which are practical for riding and daily activities of a nobleman. His shoes are pointed, following the style of the Burgundian court.
On his head, Philippe sports a chaperon, a type of headgear that was popular among men of rank. The chaperon features a rolled brim and an extended tail, known as a 'liripipe', which adds a distinctive flair to his profile.
Around his neck, he has a chain, from which hangs a badge or medallion, denoting his high rank and perhaps an order of chivalry. His right hand rests on the hilt of a dagger, hinting at the martial aspect of his role as a duke and the necessity for self...

Traditional Eleuth Warrior Attire in 1844 Hand-Colored Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Traditional Eleuth Warrior Attire in 1844 Lithograph"
Description:
This hand-colored lithograph titled *Eleuthe* (Eleuth) portrays a man from the Eleuth tribe, a subgroup of the Oirat Mongols. The image is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1844.
The print was created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen's designs, with notable contributions from artists such as Evrard Duverger, L. Markaert, and R. King. The lithograph is enhanced with Arabic gum on vellum paper, adding a bright gloss and deepening the colors.
Notable Features of the Attire:
- Helmet: The warrior wears a distinctive helmet, possibly crafted from metal or leather, which suggests a readiness for battle. The helmet design is typical of Mongolian and Central Asian tribes, providing protection while maintaining mobility.
- Coat: The long, fur-lined coat is characteristic of the Eleuths, suited to the cold climates of Central Asia. The coat is intricately patterned, showcasing both practicality and status.
- Sword: The sword hanging by his side is a symbol of his warrior class. The hilt appears to be ornately decorated, hinting at a higher social rank or experience in battle.
Cultural and Historical Insight:
The Eleuth people were part of the broader Oirat confederation of nomadic Mongols who lived in what is now Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia. Their warrior culture was highly developed, and this lithograph captures the essence of a soldier's dress during the 19th century. The attire shown here reflects both the harsh environment and the martial lifestyle that characterized their existence.

Sergeant at Arms in Ceremonial Garb: Symbol of Authority and Protection, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Sergent d'Armes," depicts a Sergeant at Arms from the Middle Ages, a role that historically combined duties of law enforcement, security, and ceremonial functions within the royal court.
The figure stands in a poised and authoritative stance, dressed in a rich blue doublet with full sleeves, edged with a yellow patterned trim that denotes his official capacity. The doublet is belted at the waist, accentuating the length of the garment which falls to the mid-thigh, a typical fashion of the period for men of status.
Over the doublet, he wears a cape that drapes over one shoulder, suggesting readiness for action. The cape, matching the doublet in color and trim, reinforces his dignified position. His hose are golden, fitting snugly and shimmering in contrast to the matte finish of the doublet, indicative of the esteem of his office.

The Common Man's Gesture: A Plebeian in Daily Life, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This original antique print for sale shows a figure labeled "Plebeien," which is French for "Plebeian," indicating that this individual is a commoner. The person is depicted in a long, bright yellow robe with a hood, which drapes in wide folds to the ground, a style that might have been worn for warmth or work by common people during certain periods in history.
The individual is gesturing outward with his right hand, perhaps in conversation or pointing towards something of interest. The expression on his face appears engaged and animated. The simplicity of the robe, despite its vibrant color, suggests practical clothing rather than the more ornate attire of the upper classes. The color could signify a particular role within the community, a trade, or simply be a choice of personal attire.
The title suggests the active role of the plebeian within the community and the everyday setting in which he belongs.
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...
