About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Ornate Tournament and Plate Armor Description: This finely detailed hand-coloured lithograph showcases two magnificent examples of late medieval and Renaissance plate armor, emphasizing both their functional and decorative qualities. It comes from the 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, produced by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and annotated by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, which celebrates the history and craftsmanship of European chivalric traditions. The illustration features: 1. On the left, a richly adorned suit of tournament armor, elaborately decorated with golden borders and red ornamental details. The intricate gilded accents and reinforced pauldrons (shoulder guards) reflect this armor’s dual role in ceremonial displays and competitive jousting. The additional detailing on the cuisses (thigh guards) and gauntlets emphasizes the armor’s craftsmanship and status. 2. On the right, a functional yet imposing suit of plate armor, designed for battle. The segmented articulation of the lower half and reinforced breastplate ensured both mobility and protection. Notably, this armor includes padded leather undergarments, visible beneath the leg armor, which were essential for comfort and additional defense during combat. The artist’s meticulous shading and vibrant colouring highlight the texture of the polished steel and the ornate golden embellishments, showcasing the armor’s grandeur and technical sophistication. Condition: This lithograph is in excellent condition, with clean margins, vibrant hand-colouring, and only minor foxing consistent with its age. An essential piece for collectors of medieval armor, European military history, or fine lithographic art, this print serves as both a decorative showpiece and an educational resource. Perfect for display in studies, libraries, or curated historical collections.
