About the Item
Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Chainmail Hauberk and Plate Leg Armor
Description: This hand-coloured lithograph features a detailed depiction of essential components of medieval armor: a 'chainmail hauberk' and a pair of articulated 'plate leg guards'. Originating from the 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, the plate illustrates the practical and artistic elements of European armor design.
The illustration highlights:
1. On the left, a chainmail hauberk – a long-sleeved, finely woven steel garment offering flexible yet reliable protection. Chainmail was a staple of medieval armor, crafted with thousands of interlocking metal rings to defend against slashing and piercing weapons. Its scalloped lower edge adds a subtle aesthetic touch.
2. On the right, a pair of plate leg defenses (cuisses, poleyns, and greaves), designed to shield the thighs, knees, and lower legs. The addition of padded leather lining visible on the upper thighs emphasizes comfort and additional protection during prolonged combat or mounted warfare.
The lithograph's detailed shading and precise colouring bring out the texture of the chainmail and the polished steel surfaces of the plate armor, demonstrating the artistry of armorers in balancing mobility and protection.
Condition: The lithograph is in excellent condition, with clear margins, precise details, and minor age-related foxing that enhances its antique character.
This print is ideal for collectors of medieval history, European armor, or historical military art. Its balance of aesthetic appeal and educational value makes it perfect for display in libraries, studies, or galleries dedicated to the evolution of protective armor.
