Title: 1855 Chivalric Procession – The Count of Bregenz and His Banner
Description: This exquisite 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 celebrates the grand festival of 1853, which featured elaborate historical reenactments of medieval Swiss and European nobility.
The artwork portrays *Graf von Bregenz* (Count of Bregenz) riding a striking black horse, richly adorned with heraldic embroidery featuring a white swan on a red field. His flowing red cape, finely detailed garments, and plumed cap emphasize his noble status and the ceremonial nature of this procession. Holding his sword across his chest, he exudes an air of confidence and command, a tribute to the nobility’s role in medieval European warfare and governance.
To his right, his *banner bearer* follows closely, mounted on a spirited dark horse. The red banner, emblazoned with the heraldic swan of Bregenz, is held high, symbolizing the house’s identity and lineage. Dressed in matching red attire with intricate white embroidery, the banner bearer mirrors the count’s elegance, reinforcing the unity of the noble house. His controlled posture and steady grip on the flagpole convey the discipline and prestige associated with medieval pageantry.
The precision and artistry in the detailing of textiles, armor, and equestrian elements reflect the mastery of 19th-century lithographic techniques. The flowing caparisons, gold-embroidered saddle cloths, and finely wrought trappings add to the sense of grandeur. The contrast between the deep red of the garments and the dark horses heightens the visual impact of the scene, creating a powerful representation of aristocratic splendor.
This lithograph exemplifies the 19th-century Romantic fascination with medieval heraldry, knighthood, and noble traditions. It captures the grandeur and elegance of European noble courts while paying homage to historical alliances and the role of Swiss and Germanic nobility in shaping the region’s medieval landscape.
Condition Summary:
The lithograph remains in goodcondition, with vibrant hand coloring that enhances the rich reds, golds, and deep blacks. Minor signs of age, including light foxing in the margins, are present but do not detract from the overall aesthetic appeal. The paper remains strong and well-preserved, making this a valuable historical collectible.
Framing Tips:
To best showcase this print, consider a high-quality frame with UV-protected museum glass or acrylic to prevent fading. A wide mat border in neutral or warm tones will enhance the deep reds and golds while maintaining an elegant presentation. A dark wooden or gold-accented frame will complement the historical grandeur of the piece. Using archival mounting materials will ensure its long-term preservation.
