About the Item
This handcolored copperplate engraving, originating from Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar in 1805, depicts four striking historical figures in ceremonial attire. The engraving captures their unique garments, each rich with symbolism and representative of their respective statuses or roles within European society:
- Figure 1: A dignitary wearing the Order of Malta's cloak, adorned with a Maltese Cross, exuding authority and devotion to chivalric traditions. The tailored coat and cane reflect noble sophistication.
- Figure 2: A Venetian doge in a resplendent ceremonial robe of deep red and gold embroidery, highlighting the opulence of Venice's ruling elite. The attire radiates wealth and prestige.
- Figure 3: A noblewoman dressed in elaborate courtly fashion, her gown featuring intricate patterns and floral motifs, complemented by a feathered headdress. This attire exemplifies aristocratic elegance.
- Figure 4: A courtier in black formal attire, intricately embroidered, likely representing a position of high esteem or association with the Order of Malta. The cape and red hat add a flair of authority.
This engraving is a fascinating artifact, offering a vivid glimpse into the ceremonial and aristocratic dress of the time. Bertuch's ability to capture such fine details of texture, pattern, and ornamentation makes this work both a valuable historical document and an artistic masterpiece. The hand-coloring further enhances its visual appeal, providing lifelike representation of the fabrics and materials.
Condition: The print is in good condition, with bright hand-coloring and minor foxing on the edges. Slight wear on the corners, typical for its age, does not detract from its charm.
This engraving is ideal for framing, especially in an ornate or gilded frame, which would complement its historic grandeur and emphasize its artistic details. A perfect addition for collectors of historical costume art or European aristocratic history.

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...
