About the Item
Cleric of the Order of Saint James in Spain in Ordinary Dress, 1791
This hand-colored engraving depicts a cleric from the Order of Saint James (Orden de Santiago) in Spain, dressed in their traditional choir habit. The figure wears a wide-brimmed hat, a black robe, and a white pleated surplice, with the signature red cross of the order prominently displayed on the chest. The Order of Saint James, established in the 12th century, was originally a military order devoted to protecting pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela. Over time, it evolved into a clerical institution with a focus on religious and administrative duties.
The engraving is part of the series titled Illustrations of All Spiritual and Secular Orders (Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden), first published between 1779 and 1791. This monumental work by Christian Friedrich Schwan sought to catalog the rich diversity of chivalric orders across Europe, both religious and secular. Each plate in the series is accompanied by meticulous detail in both the attire and the historical context of the orders.
This engraving combines artistry and historical accuracy, making it a valuable artifact for collectors of ecclesiastical history, chivalric orders, or 18th-century European prints.
Condition Report:
Fine condition with minor age-related toning and light spotting in margins. Colors are vivid, and the engraving is crisp. No significant damage or tears. Slight wear at edges consistent with age.
Display Tip:
This engraving would look stunning in a simple black or dark wood frame with a cream or off-white mat to complement the attire and bring out the boldness of the red cross. Use museum-quality materials to preserve its colors and paper integrity.
