About the Item

19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Medieval Crossbow, Arrows, and Bows Description: This beautifully hand-coloured lithograph features an array of Medieval weaponry, meticulously detailed and presented in precise alignment. The striking composition includes a finely crafted crossbow, various arrowheads, a mace, and elegant longbows, showcasing the weaponry used during the age of chivalry. It originates from the 1842 publication 'Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums', created by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and annotated by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, a key work exploring the history and customs of European knighthood. Each weapon is rendered with exceptional accuracy, reflecting the importance of these tools in both combat and hunting. The crossbow, in particular, is highlighted with intricate details, from the wood grain to the tensioned string, while the arrows display a variety of lethal arrowheads, including barbed tips and flamed designs. The accompanying longbows exhibit the simple yet elegant craftsmanship that defined this powerful weapon of the Medieval era. Condition: This lithograph is in very good condition for its age. The colours are vivid, with precise hand-colouring emphasizing the fine details. The paper has light age-toning, lending character to this antique piece, but the margins remain clean and intact. This print is perfect for collectors of Medieval history, weaponry enthusiasts, or those seeking a visually striking and historically significant piece for display. Its balance of artistry and historical accuracy makes it a unique addition to any curated collection.
