About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Knightly Parade Armour Print with Vibrant Heraldic Motifs
This original hand-coloured lithograph, produced in 1842, provides a rare and striking view into the lavish ceremonial attire and heraldic symbolism of medieval-inspired tournaments. It hails from the publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, published in Stuttgart by Carl Hoffmann. The imaginative illustrations were rendered under the artistic guidance of Friedrich Martin von Reibisch, with historical insights contributed by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, whose combined efforts sought to recreate the grace, precision, and cultural richness of chivalric traditions.
In this scene, a fully armoured knight sits atop a noble horse, both adorned in opulent, multi-coloured fabrics. The horse’s barding features bold stripes and embroidered roundels depicting golden faces, likely symbolic elements of lineage, allegiance, or personal heraldry. The knight’s polished steel armour is crowned with an elaborate crest—a delicate arrangement of plumes and checkered motifs that elevate the piece from mere military display to an intricate work of art. Such pageantry would have graced grand feasts, parades, or festive jousts, showcasing the knight’s status and the aesthetic refinement of the age.
The hand-applied colouring remains remarkably bright and vivid, while the lithograph’s paper bears only light, age-appropriate toning and minor edge wear. These subtle imperfections confirm the piece’s authentic 19th-century origin, without detracting from its visual allure. Collectors fascinated by medieval costume, heraldic art, or the romanticized world of knights and tournaments will find this print an enthralling addition to their collections. Its combination of historical authenticity, decorative appeal, and exquisite craftsmanship makes it a compelling piece suitable for display in a refined gallery or study.

Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress, 1842
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress
Description: This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph presents a fully armoured knight mounted on a similarly armoured horse, highlighting the grandeur of medieval tournament culture. Drawn from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, the plate exemplifies the craftsmanship of tournament armor and equestrian regalia.
The knight is clad in articulated plate armor, intricately engraved and polished to perfection, reflecting the martial prowess and status of a noble warrior. He holds a ceremonial poleaxe, often seen in jousts or tournaments as both a practical weapon and a symbol of chivalry. His plumed helmet, adorned with vibrant red and yellow feathers, adds an element of spectacle befitting a medieval tournament.
The horse is draped in a richly patterned caparison, a cloth covering adorned with intricate geometric designs, likely symbolizing the knight's heraldic identity. The ornate horse armor...
