About the Item

Raymond du Puy: 1791 Hand-Colored Engraving of the First Grand Master of the Hospitallers This captivating hand-colored engraving, titled "Raymund du Puy, erster Großmeister des Johanniter-Ordens" (Raymond du Puy, First Grand Master of the Hospitaller Order), depicts the legendary leader of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Dressed in the simple yet iconic black robe adorned with the white eight-pointed cross, Raymond du Puy is shown holding a crucifix in one hand and rosary beads in the other, symbolizing his unwavering faith and leadership in the Crusades. A sword at his side reflects the dual spiritual and martial role of the order. Raymond du Puy served as the first Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, a medieval chivalric order known for its dedication to caring for the sick and defending Christianity. This engraving is part of the renowned series "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden," or "Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders," published between 1779 and 1791 by Christian Friedrich Schwan in Mannheim. The series meticulously documented the attire and traditions of various knightly orders, offering an invaluable glimpse into their rich history and pageantry. The hand-coloring adds depth to the engraving, bringing out the solemnity and dignity of this revered figure. Collectors of historical prints, Crusader history, or religious art will find this piece a unique and meaningful addition to their collection. Condition Report: Minor foxing along the margins with some toning due to handling and age. The hand-coloring is vibrant and intact. Minimal creasing at the edges, not affecting the image. Overall in good condition. Framing Tip: Pair this piece with a deep black or charcoal acid-free mat and a gold-accented frame to enhance the engraving’s historical and religious significance. Consider using UV-resistant glass to protect its delicate hand-coloring and ensure preservation over time. This timeless display will beautifully showcase the engraving’s historical importance.
