EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcolored copperplate engraving depicts an armed man from Lithuania, showcasing his formidable appearance with a mace, sword, and shield. Dating back to the 16th century, this illustration is taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in Vienna in 1837. The image is based on Cesare Vecellio's Habiti Antichi et Moderni, a comprehensive work on the costumes of various nations, published in Venice in 1590. The Lithuanian warrior stands tall and proud, his muscular physique exuding strength and determination. He wears a helmet adorned with intricate metalwork, protecting his head from enemy attacks. In his right hand, he holds a mace, its heavy head designed to crush armor and bones. In his left hand, he grips a long sword, its sharp edge ready to strike at a moment's notice. A shield, emblazoned with the coat of arms of Lithuania, shields his body from harm. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The man's armor is adorned with various decorative elements, including embossed patterns and enamel work. His clothing, consisting of a tunic and hose, is also finely detailed, with intricate stitching and embroidery. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the military prowess and cultural traditions of Lithuania during the Middle Ages. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of this European nation, and the importance of preserving and celebrating its past.
