MEDIEVAL COSTUME - Nobles Royals Musicians Falconers Original 1896 Antique Print
This original 1896 chromolithograph by Frédéric Hottenroth features a colorful assembly of medieval figures, including kings, queens, noblewomen, musicians, falconers, clerics, and scholars. Their richly patterned garments and symbolic objects—such as scrolls, staffs, falcons, and musical instruments—illustrate the varied roles and ceremonial dress of the Middle Ages. The plate captures the elegance and pageantry of court life, ecclesiastical tradition, and cultural expression in a vibrant visual tableau.
Published in Le Costume Chez Les Peuples Anciens et Modernes and printed in Paris by A. Guérinet, this genuine 19th-century print is a valuable collectible for historians and costume enthusiasts. It measures approximately 6.25 x 9.25 inches, is blank on the reverse, and shows a crease and corner wear in the lower right.
