Description
With this volume Ulrich Lehnart presents the first part of the last volume of his Costume Studies of the Middle Ages. This volume covers the period from the end of the Middle Ages to the end of the first phase of the early modern period. In costume history, this is a period in which clothing and armour changed gradually, but radically in the final result. The change of style in civilian and military fashion makes it obvious that people also entered a new age externally.
The abundance of individual phenomena relating to weapons and costumes and the contemporary pictorial material proved to be so great that it seemed advisable to divide the material into two parts. Thus, the first part of the volume is limited to the equipment of the lansquenets and their wives as well as that of the knights. The first part of this volume deals mainly with the clothing of the lansquenets, which means that for the first time in this series of books, the foot soldiers are presented at the beginning. The second part focuses on the armour of the cavalry. The history of the development of German armour from the Baroque Gothic period through the transitional period to the early Renaissance is presented in detail. Numerous smooth and grooved cuirasses are represented with photographs of originals and first-class copies. Finally, in the last part, in addition to the weapons of the cavalry, the blank and pole weapons of the infantry are described and illustrated in detail for the first time.
The second part volume will then deal with the civil fashion or dress of nobles, burghers and peasants as well as the armament of bourgeois and peasant formations and their armament including firearms. The present book is illustrated with more than a dozen colour plates and over 200 photographs, about half of them in colour. The number of patterns, on the other hand, is limited to the bare minimum, since changes in tailoring are to be one of the main subjects in the second volume.
