About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Medieval Axes, Maces, Daggers, and Firearm Description: This remarkable hand-coloured lithograph presents an eclectic collection of medieval and early modern weapons and accessories, highlighting both their functional and ceremonial roles. The print comes from the 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, created by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and historically annotated by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp. This piece serves as a rich visual record of the evolution of European arms and military equipment. The plate features seven detailed items: 1. A ceremonial axe with an ornately decorated golden handle. 2. An elaborate spiked mace, designed to pierce through plate armor, reflecting its use in close combat. 3. A finely crafted dagger with a decorated hilt, likely used for both battle and ceremonial purposes. 4. A compact morning star or flanged club, known for its devastating impact. 5. An early firearm, featuring an intricately designed stock and lock mechanism, representative of the transition from melee weapons to gunpowder arms. 6. A richly adorned powder horn, complete with tassels and detailed embellishments, used to carry gunpowder. 7. A ceremonial belt, decorated with intricate golden accents and rivets, indicative of its use for display or high-ranking individuals. The hand-applied colouring brings each object to life, with golden hues and polished steel tones that accentuate the detailed craftsmanship of these historical weapons. Condition: The lithograph is in excellent condition, with crisp details, vibrant colouring, and clean margins. Light age-toning and subtle foxing are present, consistent with its historical authenticity. This print is an exceptional addition to collections focused on medieval and early modern weaponry, military history, or fine lithographic art. Its combination of beauty and historical accuracy makes it ideal for framing and display in a library, study, or curated gallery.
