About the Item

Triumphal March – Caspar von Hertenstein Leading the Lucerne Regiment This grand hand-colored lithograph, created by H. Jenny and lithographed by Kümmerly and Wittmer, is part of the *Fest Album* commemorating Bern’s entry into the Swiss Confederation on March 6, 1353. Published in Bern and Zurich in 1855, this large oblong folio captures the elaborate historical reenactments of 1853, celebrating Swiss nobility, military prowess, and civic heritage through spectacular processions. The composition presents Caspar von Hertenstein, a prominent nobleman and military leader, riding at the head of an impressive Lucerne regiment. Dressed in gleaming silver armor with a flowing yellow-and-red cape, he confidently leads the parade on his regal chestnut horse, which is adorned with a lavish red and gold caparison. His posture, steady and commanding, reflects his authority and his role in the Swiss military hierarchy. Beside him, a banner bearer in a striking red and gold uniform rides a black steed, holding a shield emblazoned with crossed halberds—a symbol of Swiss infantry strength. His sharp gaze and disciplined grip on his long pike reinforce the structured elegance of the procession. The pairing of these two mounted figures adds a dynamic contrast, emphasizing both the aristocratic and military leadership traditions of the Confederation. Following closely behind is a highly organized regiment of Lucerne soldiers, marching in perfect unison. Clad in pristine white-and-blue uniforms with silver armor and feathered helmets, they carry long pikes and a richly embroidered blue banner, waving proudly in the wind. Their crisp attire and disciplined expressions exemplify the legendary Swiss military precision that made them some of the most formidable mercenaries in Europe during the late medieval and Renaissance periods. The lithograph’s intricate detailing, from the embroidery on the horses’ trappings to the fine shading of the soldiers' armor, demonstrates the artistic mastery of 19th-century lithographic techniques. The contrast between the warm reds and golds of the mounted leaders and the cool blues and silvers of the marching regiment creates a visually striking composition, reinforcing the grandeur of the event. This piece is a celebration of Switzerland’s noble heritage and martial tradition, highlighting the role of Lucerne’s forces in shaping the history of the Confederation. It embodies the Romantic-era fascination with chivalry, heraldry, and military ceremony, making it a valuable artifact of historical commemoration. Condition Summary: The lithograph remains in good condition, with finely preserved hand coloring that enhances the dramatic contrast between the deep reds, rich golds, and cool blues. Minor signs of aging, such as light foxing in the margins, do not affect the image’s vibrancy. The paper remains strong and well-maintained, making this a sought-after historical collectible. Framing Tips: To best display this print, consider a high-quality frame with UV-protected museum glass or acrylic to prevent fading. A wide mat border in neutral or deep tones will complement the contrast of the reds, blues, and silvers while maintaining an elegant presentation. A dark wooden or gold-accented frame will enhance the historical grandeur of the piece. Using archival mounting materials will ensure its long-term preservation.
