About the Item
Title: Resplendent Cavalry Fanfare – Trumpet Corps of the Swiss States’ Escort in 1853
Description: This stunning hand-colored lithograph is part of the *Fest Album Celebrating Bern’s Entry into the Swiss Confederation on March 6, 1353, Commemorated in 1853 on the Victory Days of Laupen and Murten*, published in Bern and Zurich in 1855. It was created by Heinrich Jenny and lithographed by Kümmerly and Wittmer. This rare and historically significant print captures a vibrant moment in the grand procession that took place to mark Bern’s 500-year membership in the Swiss Confederation.
The scene depicts the 'Trumpeter Corps of the States’ Escort', a regal and disciplined formation of mounted musicians dressed in elaborate red and black livery. The horsemen wear gleaming silver helmets adorned with flowing plumes, while their white and gray horses are richly caparisoned with matching fabrics. At the head of the procession, a leader confidently surveys the scene while the trumpeters behind him sound their fanfare, their golden instruments glinting in the light.
The artistry in this lithograph is remarkable, with intricate details that bring the pageantry of the event to life. The rhythmic repetition of horses and musicians creates a sense of movement and grandeur, reinforcing the significance of the historical procession. The bright yet balanced color palette highlights the richness of the costumes while maintaining the elegant tone of the composition.
This lithograph is part of a larger series illustrating the grand festival that took place in 1853, featuring historical figures, cantonal representatives, and guilds in full regalia. The celebration was a carefully planned reenactment of medieval Swiss history, serving both as a commemoration and a demonstration of national pride. The meticulous attention to historical accuracy in both costume and composition makes this print a valuable record of Swiss heritage.
Summary of Condition:
The print is in good condition with only minor signs of age and handling. There is some light foxing, particularly around the margins, which is typical for lithographs of this period. The colors remain vivid, and the details of the figures and horses are well-preserved. Some minor wear is visible along the edges, but the central composition is unaffected, maintaining its visual impact.
Framing Tips:
To best showcase this historical lithograph, it is recommended to use archival materials, including acid-free matting and UV-resistant glass, to prevent further aging. A wide cream or off-white mat can enhance the contrast of the colors while providing a balanced frame for the artwork. A classic black or gold wooden frame with a subtle decorative profile will complement the historical nature of the print while allowing the details to stand out. If opting for a more dramatic presentation, a shadow box frame with a slightly recessed mount can add depth, emphasizing the grandeur of the scene.
